Hello Hello.

First of all I want to say "Hello!". I'm glad to be here.
This is my first post here on the forum after I purchased Octane Render.

So I just want to show you my first Tests. I hope I will get some time to update the post regularly.

Enjoy...

welcome! glad to have you with us :)
your first "test" already looks fantastic! :shock: imo it is not easy to acquire such a realistic look with a "simple" setup like that; has an absolute photographic look to it (colors, lighting, framing, dof) - did you do postwork on this?

ps: i even don't mind the noise - well a little ;) it could be less, but personally i won't burn them to be completely noise-free; imo adds some realism to it...

Thank you, thank you :)

Hmmm, yes its really noisy. I've just render each image for about 30 mins.
Once i've finished this project I will render it a bit longer ;)
I think I have to buy a really good GPU.

At the moment I'm not really familiar with Octane. So I hope I can push the Quality a bit in the final renderings.

And, yes. I did postwork on this. Just a little colour-correction.

Wow, looks highly photorealistic :D
A pity the background doesn't quite match the color temperature :/ It also looks like light is coming from another direction on the mountains.

Hey Sportler. Thank you for the feedback.

Yeah I know. I haven't found a good snowy Mountain-Hdri. I'm still searching ;)
... and its far away from finish.

I hope I will find a solution for nice shadows on Hdri lighting. It's a bit tricky in Octane, hu?
In the next days I'll play a bit around to ger familiar with Octane.

Thank you!

I used path tracing. Does it look like direct lighting? :|

Rendertimes were 1 hour per render on a GTX 560.
(Yes, I will buy a faster one soon ;) )
And I used a daylight and some mesh emitters on the standing light and on the ceiling light.

You mean: Direct Light / GI Mode: Diffuse?
