Can anyone help me with this? I did create the material, and the lighting,..i do get good results, but i can not get results like above. Is it possible to get that realistic results with octane?

Cheers cgpanda

You can try using a really high res bump map for the "scratches" of the brushed metal.

If you look et it physically those brushes are tiny scratches alongside the ring.
So if you use a map that produces this tiny bump pattern over the surface it should look right.

I have used this method to render this:

Also a detailed description could be found in the Octane thread:
