Looks very cool.

Are you using hair in that technique?

Hello everybody, I'm very confused with the Particle Engine inside of c4d's octane. Can somebody tell me where to find some info about it and how do i use it?

hi daydreamer,
if particle engine is enabeld you are able to render xparticles "on the fly" for example. each partilce will be renderd as a sphere. you can adjust the size and colour of the spheres directly in the the xparticle-emitter settings under visibility-tag if i remember right.

btw.
here a quick vertex-motionblurtest

rendertime was only 30 seconds on a titan/gtx780 rig. DR-diffuse. the motionblur-calculation is so incredibble fast! octane 2.0 is just amazing! thank you ahmet!

thanks to you. Next step will be more shapes on XP. We can use display shapes.

Ahmet, Do you think we will ever be able to use the XP shaders with Octane, or is this just not possible?

I cannot for the life of me get x-particles to render in octane. I can only get native emitters to render in cinema, and only as white balls.

What settings must be enabled for the x-particles emitter to render in cinema?
Thanks for the help.
