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!

very good ,i like the oak bean ,is that a image texture with bump ?
keep it up

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

wow good work i like it!

how many light sources do you have in this scene?

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...

and then I rendered out a bigger (4000 x 3000) version using the sunlight system..

took a few hours though....

hello,

yes, u cant see the transparency when u use directlighting.
okay just a hdri nice thx i like you wood texture very nice

I like a lot the last one. Nice !

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
