OTOY Forums

Hi everyone!


This is my first post, as I only started using Octane a couple of weeks ago.

First of all, congratulations to the Refractive Software team, you're doing a great job!!!
I just can't use any other renderer now!!!


Below is my first picture with Octane.
I know that in terms of quality and skills I'm really far behind most of what has been posted so far, but I thought I'd give it a (shy) try...

The original "model" is a picture in a home-design magazine that I tried to model in 3D.

- Modelled in Sketchup
- Then exported as "obj" into Blender" (UV mapping is much easier in Blender)
- Then re-exported as "obj"
- Rendered in Octane
- Some post-production in Photoshop

Hope you like it, and of course: please comment !!!

See ya everyone!

Very nice.. be careful, Octane render is addictive

needs some waves in the water

Yes indeed !!! In fact I'm already addicted, it's too late.... !

Yes I also thought so, but creating waves in Sketchup is a bit tricky, and making them with Blender after importing from Sketchup would have meant totally re-working the mesh of the pool...

Thanks for your comments!


Oh, by the way: is it normal that I can't get normal displacement ?

Use procedural inside Octane instead making them by hand.
