* Your dreams may not become reality, but they'll at least render pretty close to it and pretty fast also with OCTANE RENDER *
* Welcome to OCTANE RENDER. You have reached the point of no return to the domain of guessed rendering & hundreds of settings. YOU CAN BREATH NOW and let your whole art flow
*MOTTO: noise is the detail thus noise is the texture
Hello to everyone,
This is my take on the OCTANEBENCH theme!
It's all about making use of the noise as a design intent, lighting accuracy and the power of simplicity.
- WIP - concepts & sketches (horizontal ribbon)
- WIP - images (vertical ribbon)
- ~ 2m30' @ 3500 samples (on GTX 650 Ti) that should be equivalent to ~ 30 sec on a TITAN
- ~ 24m40' @ 32000 samples (on GTX 650 Ti) for de-noising purposes
NVIDIA's logo - I have talked extensively with NVIDIA (10 emails total) and not only did they approve my usage of their logo, they were also very supportive and helpful throughout the whole process of tweaking the image to best represent their logo. So, I have NVIDIA's complete acceptance regarding their logo usage in my project / images.
OTOY's & OCTANE's logos - I hope it's okay to use these logos as the theme itself practically calls for their presence somewhat (at least in my opinion).
No textures where used at all (roughness + noise => detail => texture).
All the models are made from scratch (NVIDIA's logo was modeled exactly to their specifications).
That's it ... I guess. I really hope you like it !
All best and max. inspiration to all,
eidy
P.S> This is my first competition attempt in the Octane World
and also my first time with this kind of posting so please be gentle if I mess something up
