First Post & First Render

Hi everyone. I have been lurking for a while now and never posted anything. I bought a license quite a while ago but never took the time to actually dive into Octane.

Well, finally, today I did! I took one of my characters, posed it, made some shaders, which took a while, considering that this is my first attempt at doing something more than just single layer material.

Here are the results. Hopefully more to come soon.

This looks great! Love the texturing especially!

I don't know what octane does for SSS, but if it does , you might just want to add a subtle amount.

Other than that, AWESOME!

Thank you.

Correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I understand, Octane's only options to "approximate" sub-surface scattering is mainly through diffuse and specular translucence (which I have used on the skin shader, do you think it needs to be pushed further?) which doesn't offer control on the depth. I understand the GPU bound limitations.
But it would be nice to at least a basic Ward specularity and or Fresnel terms (or is that controlled by the IOR?). Am I missing something?

Hey ElBloko,

Great job, really really great. Skin is just fine, looks very natural, you don't need to push it more.

All the best,
Voja
