Hey guys, I took some time to prepare an instructional video on Displacement Mapping with Octane Render for Cinema 4D.

Here is the post:
Displacement Mapping with Octane Render for Cinema 4D

Hope you find some good info in it.

Best,

Great, dobs - thanks!

Very nice and clear tutorial, Dobs. Thanks.

The 'Shader to Texture' option opens up great possibilities, working with procedurals.
I use Maya for a lot of my work, and unfortunately we don't have a similar option (albeit, not for the lack of asking for this feature ).

Your tutorials are great, and if you are thinking of future possible videos, then a tutorial on displacement from either zbrush or mudbox to Octane would be cool.

Cheers.

Great tutorial!! Thank you!
I constantly have weird blackness on my displaced meshes while using 32 bit map (like maps exported from Zbrush). I wonder if there are other people having the same problem and what is an accurate displacement workflow.

As far as I can tell, the displacement shader is not a big fan of sudden changes in values in the map. That's why I tend to blur my maps just touch so that the values dont change abruptly from black to white or vice versa. It's obviously a rather limited feature at this point. Hopefully it will be perfected with future builds.
