Hi There

Have been playing with Octance for a few months now, love it, and have made this (!)

Its loosely based on a photograph from Kevin McCloud's 'Grand Designs' program, which airs here in the UK, basically people building / refurbishing their own homes etc

see what you think, and all comments welcome!

Hi and thanks!

Yes, it's a bump mapped material, but I booleaned out the big cracks in Max, and then it's got chamfered edges and a bit of noise on the geometry overall from memory

I'm rendering a sunlit version out currently , but once that's finished it might be useful if I do a clay render too?

cheers,

Steve

hi Said and thanks again!

No lights as such, just all lit with an old Dosch HDRI I have (mapped to an image - not sure whether this should be floatimage instead?) , and then
rendered with pathtracing - no idea what PMC does or the difference, and then directlighting doesn't seem to do glass transparency?

anyhow, here's the clay render - interesting that it includes the bump maps in this...

directlight and glass transparency works well but you have to use glossy material instead of specular
and play with the settings .nice images

Hey nice work

I dont understand the materials so much in octane yet, I am a vray user for many years and just bought Octane.

Some say its best to use specular mat for glass and some say glossy, what is the best.

Thanks

Sune
