OTOY Forums

So i have my scene, and i added an octaneSky with an HDRi; and a Infinite light with the octane daylight tag.

The infinite light makes the octanesky useless, so i check the "Mix Sky texture" option, and now i have both illuminations.

But now, i dont waht the HDRI to show in render. Only the blue and organge sky from the light. How i do this?

The "keep enviroment" option at Octane render settings does not anything...
The "alpha channel" option makes the sky invisible... so its useless for me too (in this situation).

Any idea, please?
Thank you.

Can't you just do it in compositing? render the scene with an alpha and then do another render with just that gradient or just replicate it in the comp application, either way you have more control.

Its an animation so the only way would be the one you say; making the render with alpha first, and then again with the Sky.

The thing is, its a long complicated animation, with multiple cameras etc.
So i would have to make tons of renders.

Well if its the only way ill do that.
Thank you for the help

Im really happy with octane; this is a minor thing, Octane for C4d is GREAT.

Im having troubles learning to use the mix material for complex materials; please if any one knows a tutorial or something, let me know

Plase find related and tutorial sections under Cinema4D forum. Latest v3 alpha has new visible environment option. may work as you wish.

Thank you again Aoktar.

Where do i download V3? sorry... but i cant find it...
I mean.. the C4D plugin for V3. Already found V3 standalone at the forums
