Hello everyone,
Sorry for my English. These are renders I'm doing with DAZ's model Victoria 6, in the Standalone version of Octane.

Working Methodology
DAZ
1. I created a scene with Victoria 6 and several panels that I will use as lights in Octane.
2. I exported the scene to .obj file (with associated image maps).
OCTANE
1. I imported the .obj file and saved the scene in Octane (.ocs file).
2. I deleted the default Octane's materials associated with DAZ's surfaces.
3. For the skin I created a mix material, consisting of:
3.1. A difuse material, to which I have assigned DAZ's textures in properties difuse and bump.
3.2. A specular material, to which I have assigned DAZ's textures in properties transmission and bump. The colors for the reflection and scattering properties, I have copied from Tonysculptor's Skin R20 material.

Greetings

Wow this is absolutely amazing!
Could you be a little specific about the setting on material (like the bump map strength for the skin)


Thanks a lot
Steven

Thank you Steven.

First of all, I use three panels to create light.
Render - Tutorial00.png
Then I'm working with groups of surfaces. For example for the group of the face, therea are 3 surfaces: nostrils, lips and face.

1. I associate a Mix Material (for now, Amount = 1.000, to work only with the first material).

2. First material.Diffuse:
-Propertie diffuse = RyBelle_face.jpg
-Propertie bump = RyBelle_faceBU.jpg
Scene - Tutorial02.png

Render - Tutorial02.png
I change now the value of Amount to 0.000, for working with the second material.

3. Second material. Specular:
-Propertie reflection = 0.540,0.580,0.650 (value copied from Tonysculptor's material)
-Propertie transmission = RyBelle_face.jpg
-Propertie bump = RyBelle_faceBU.jpg
-Propertie roughness = 0.250
-Propertie absortion = 0.100,0,0
-Propertie scattering = 0.230,0.370,0.600 (value copied from Tonysculptor's material)
Scene - Tutorial03.png
Render - Tutorial03.png
4. I change now the value of Amount to 0.400, to blend both materials:
Render - Tutorial04.png
5. Now, I repeat the same for the following groups of surfaces:
-Group 01: head, neck, hips, torso, nipples and ears: RyBelle_torso.jpg and RyBelle_torsoBU.jpg.
-Group 02: legs, hands, shoulders, forearms, feet, toenails and fingernails: RyBelle_limbs.jpg and RyBelle_limbsBU.jpg.

In these last groups, I only associate the texture with bump to the Specular material, assigning a value of 0.500 to the power texture property.
Scene - Tutorial05.png
Render - Tutorial05.png
6. I use the default settings for hair and mouth:
-Surfaces: gums, teeth, tongue and the map innerMouth => Material Diffuse => Propertie diffuse = RyBelle_mouth.jpg.
Render - Tutorial06.png
7. For the eyes, I use the following settings:

-Surface: eyelashes => Material difuse => Propertie opacity = RyBelle_lashes.jpg
-Surface: eyeReflection and Tear => Material Clear Cornea (Live DB Material)
-Surface: cornea => Material difuse => Propertie opacity = RyBelle_correfl01.jpg
-Surface: lacrimals, pupils, iris and sclera => Material difuse => Propertie diffuse = RyBelle_eyes01.jpg

That's all!

Thank you so much!
Now I can finally get to somewhere near your renders!
I'm still trying to adjust the lighting to approach a better realism (I didn't use the panels)
Is there a daylight in this render?

Can you share your settings for daz export and octane import scaling? I still get a very dark skin tone and I think it has to do with the scale settings I'm using for both export and import.

And, I use 3 panel as white light emitters: 1 frontal and 2 backs. I change power settings according to the scene.

I also play with the exposure value in Camera Imager.

Try to vary the exposure value to brighten the picture.

Thanks so much for the info. I'd been importing as centimeters and it was throwing everything off. If I used enough light to get good results on the skin everything else in the scene would be washed out.

Kudos to you for your efforts and kind replies! :D :D :D
