OTOY Forums

Hi everyone, this is my first activity on this forum. I've been using Octane for 2 months now, and I absolutely love it. I use 4 GTX Titans. It's time to share some of my projects.


Restaurant Diffuse 11 7 4




Panoramic view:
http://www.dermandar.com/p/eyZBOi/amber-tower

Panoramic view took about 13-14 hours to render. I can't find a way to speed it up.

Question: what software should I get to make higher quality panoramas? In .png file I can even see reflections of bar in wine glasses on the nearest table.
I tried Panoweaver, but it ruins the quality as well as Dermandar.


House interior Diffuse 7 6 4







Panoramic view:

About 11 hours.

Again, the same situation with quality.


Apartment

For bedroom I used PMC 16, I just couln't achieve the proper effect on DL. Rendered in 15 minutes, it's still grainy but I didn't have time to let it finish.




And bathroom, Abbient Occlusion 11 6 4






It's very well illuminated, so it took about 40s for each render (1400x2000)

That's all for now, thanks

These are really good. Good use of light. And I love the panoramas!

Two observations:
1. Timber texture does no align in 2nd image;
2. WC / bidet low poly edges (are they Sketchup models?) - did you activate smooth on these materials in Octane?

What did you model in?

Also, as soon as you reach the 2 month stage you are obliged to put your hardware / software info in your signature. It helps others to see what you use to achieve your render speeds etc.

Looks no 100% photorealistic except your image is rendered by PMC. Therefore, you must use PMC kernel with max depth 16 or 24, caustics blur 0.0 and parallelism 1 or 2 because your videocards are excellents and look glasses and/or mirrors to appear caustics.

Very nice!
What are the numbers behind the kernel types are standing for?
Bounces? Specular, glossy, diffuse?

Really nice quality there!
I don't know why but bathrooms always get me...so squeaky clean

WC / bidet low poly edges (are they Sketchup models?) - did you activate smooth on these materials in Octane?

No, these are not Sketchup models. I got it from producers. They are very poor but it's the time that counts im my job.

What did you model in?

Thanks Paulo,
You're going to enjoy the new SketchUp plugin... And you'll be able to add rounded edges to crappy models like those with the new Octane 2.

These are looking great, crazy the panoramas took so long on 4 titans! Can you tell us a bit more about your lighting set up for the first restaurant interiors? The lighting looks even and natural.

PLEASE should read my message (Wed Apr 23, 2014 11:48 pm) because you shouldn't render again your rest images PMC using yet. And I don't like too your images DL-AO using due to no photo-realistic!

Hi Nuno,
I'm keen to hear what about the images you find non-photo realistic. Could you be more specific? I realize PMC should give Paulo better quality but these are pretty true. So, the question is, where do you see improvement needed or 'non-photo realism' and in which images?

Best,
