OTOY Forums

Hi guys just want to share how amazingly octane can do....
I make a comparison between render kernel, time and result just to fight with our enemies "deadline".
So here we go..., C4D + Octane in action
Comparison between both of them Done with path tracing around 1h Done with direct light in about 15-20minutes (forgot exactly but less than 30minutes) Done with direct light in about 15-20minutes And here is the animation (please watch on HD)
I takes around 8hours to render all scene with direct light
surprisingly the result is not that bad...


Cheers

really good and realistic . I love the animation and the time to do them seems to make direct light the acceptable chose for doing interior animations for this moment in time.

Great work. Love the simplicity of using DL to get great images and animation

really impressive!

which option for Direct Light was used?, the comparison of the table seems to be with the AO mode....but in the others I think that you used the Diffuse mode, isn't it?

Cheers, Paolo

I honestly don´t understand why to use path tracing, since direct light with diffuse GI enabled can get virtually identical results in half the time.

Direct lighting gives poor results when you have transparent glossy materials.

The best result is imho when compositing a Pathtracing render and a Direct lighting render. Obviously it takes longer, but you get both advantages of the AO and good transparencies.

Thanks guys!!
all direct light was created in AO mode..,
i was only adjust the "speculardepth" and "glossydepth" bit higher to get the correct reflection & refraction.

Cheers

very good!

how many gpus? type?

now it's time to check how Octane runs on K20s...

Ardian, since my little company recently switched to Octane, I´ve posted an article about that in my website, using one of your images in this thread. I hope you don´t mind. If you want to see the article (it´s in Spanish) the url is: http://www.factor3d.com/2012/11/25/actu ... ne-render/

If you want me to remove it or whatever, just let me know. Congratulations for those great images

Yes, I was lost in my thoughs about AO and else, and forgot to say : very good images !
