Hi guys, finally I had free time to finish and pack in one PDF the making of the pool scene for Octane Competition as I have been asked dozens of times. Hope you find it useful. Soon i'll prepare and finish more detailed PDF with all the settings workflow and material creation in Octane render for this or another scene..
It's uploaded here, thanks refractive team..
I'll update the PDF with particle and dynamic simulation of water and a simple tutorial how to bake displacement into geometry (3dsmax) and optimize to be used in Octane render if there is interest of course.
PS: There could be typo mistakes here and there, please excuse me, it's really late here...
Just updated the link, the previous was broken...
Second part of the PDF will contain export settings, gamma workflow in Octane, setting environment, cameras , creating materials and final post process.

Thanks a lot guys.. Stay tuned, I'm working on an update. Hope you'll like it.
Great job mate, I think that refractive could added to the downloads section or uploaded somehow to the forums, I'm planning on doing mine on the car rain scene, but the materials contest has sucked all my spare time

Hi,
I had it on my to-do list, but somehow I managed to forget it... Fortunaely I just remembered it and copied the PDF onto our webserver. It's definitely worth a read:

Andrian, thanks a lot for the great work
