OTOY Forums

Does anyone in the Champions Octane Render thought about doing a pay-per-store examples.

For example, as here http://books.sketchucation.com/

I do not mean modeling. Since then, there are other forums.

I mean render setting, materials, rip the stage to post production.
I found such a beautiful renderings, but I have no idea how to get such realistic effects.

Of course, many weeks testing various settings something I could able to earn. But I prefer to learn by example and pay for it.

Many people who bought Octane Render does not use it just a hobby. Use it at work and do not have time to explore all your own.

I really want to know how well to use Octane to use its power. But I do not give advice.

Kids want to help with homework . My wife calls out to the bed ... And I'm testing a new material and setting in Octane .

I hope I will be willing to sell their skills.

I am the first to buy .

Hi,

Might be interesting for You =)
I'm actually posted today on twiter:

@tomGlimps: Tomorow (or even today =) I'm going to publish something interesting in my website.. / working on article named "How I met & fell in Love with #OctaneRender" - it is almost done! =) / I will make a series of those in coming month =) pluss I'm considering to put full scenes to start playing with.. / I though about low priced model, trying to cut the 'middle-man', but the PayPal setup would cut a lot guys that don't have acounts.. / So, i'm thinking about PWYW (Pay What You Want) or don't pay at all - so everyOne would have a possibility to learn something new =).. / I'm a self tought Guy & I know how hard is to get a grip in CG - You have to spend countless hours to start moving.. / I want to give something back to comunity now =) to keep the dream alive: if You really want it, You can make it happen! =) / So stay tuned, first article is goind to be an introduction, but it will help to start - every succeding one will be more specific..

Feel free to visit my website later (it's still very clean) maybe soon with article series i'm preparing You'll be able to find interesting information with possibilities to download fully setuped scenes.

It's very interesting I'm waiting for this.

I wonder if you could not do such as ready-made solutions based on type heat:

Well, I see no need of such a shop, because Octane can use any model in .obj format) so You can buy whatever You want online, it's way too much of good material out there by now =) just look around. In a meantime i'll provide something different..

What i'm going to do is share the scenes i'm preparing for my folio - these are going to be WIP, so You can get Your hands on while the process will be in progress. In that way You can influence end result or simply tweak out the model as You want.

The idea is to share stuff that anyone could learn from files, rather than from detailed tutorials - sometimes the best way to learn is just play around without mimicing tutorials and if You have any experience with other renderers, You half way there!

Scenes will be very simple, maybe because of the reason that i love minimalism or partialy because i'm a lazy modeler (modeling is not the most interesting part of CG for me =) i will concentrate on lighting, framing and other things that are important.

I've started series of articles. The first one is already in my website for those that haven't tried Octane at all it's very introductionary & i'll always try to be less technical and more fluid so these would not be just another tutorial series.
