bbeepp,

Could you please be so kind and write something more about how you've used Light Studio with this model - did you use the LightStudio as standalone and then you exported HDR to octane? Or some other way?

(no nie mogę oczu oderwać od tego zegarka )

Thanks for the comments

smicha,

The procedure is simple. There is plugin for Cinema 4d and many other apps like Maya, Modo or Max. You launch the plugin, switch it to reflection mode and position the lights in the perspective/camera view of a 3d application. You can also have a realtime feedback in Octane preview window.
Then you render the HDR in HDRLS and save it with to the project location.

Since i haven't bought the Octane plugin for Cinema yet I used a demo.

To export the 3d scene with camera to standalone Octane I used alembic file which had only camera in it and a obj file with the model.
I combined both in Octane, imported rendered HDR file from HDRLS, prepared materials etc. and hit render

Here is how the HDR map looks like:

Thank you for such extensive explanation. I'll give it a try.

Pretty decent render, great job!

OMG you are overkilling it with that HDR map - there are usually suggestions to just use 2-3 lights.. but this turnes out pretty nice..

- great portfolio BTW - nice to see you have a lot of downloadables

Really nice render really good modeling I recognise the HDR at the background is the same place as this one from Jeff
