Latest work for one of our clients..Using Octane 2.0 and displacement is really cool! Images rendered on Diffuse for 1 hour on 4 x GTX Titans. Original size was 5000px wide shrunk down to 2500.

mh...it looks like a render from the 90ties. Why ?
For Example the Textures from the "swimming chairs" and other parts from the scene looks "unsharp and undefined".
sorry buts it`s not a good example for what octane can do for you.
you have to learn "surfacing" and "lighting"
but anyway...GO GO GO !

I'm sorry but it's the best I can do. I'll never be a great visualiser but I'm happy with what I can do.

I like it - by Diffuse - do you mean direct lighting? If so, I would be interested to see what it looks like with path tracing as that can add a certain depth to the light that can be missing with DL.

Yes DirectLighting..I would love to render everything in PT or PMC but it's the time it takes. Most clients want a 2500px render within the hour so leaving things overnight is not a luxury I get which is a shame!

This is the daylight version attached.

Hi Jbs,
With a bit of refinement I think these can be great. Are those stone walls done with displacement? The corners are quite good and the up-lighting striking.

Keep going!

This 2nd render is much much better, great progress.

I think that the colors and environment looks pretty refreshing.
On the second image the outdoor plate could use a bit better integration with the rest (maybe try and play with the bloom effect on the post tab in camera settings), but overall I like it. And your picture definitely dosen't look like something from the 90'ies

Keep it up

The second image is massively improved, you should try and add either a bump or displacement to the tiles on the chairs, something subtle to just let the tiles pop a bit. Also could add some shine to them while keeping the grout dull, little things like that will help to really sell the image.
