What is your best Octane Tip?

One of the biggest tips that can save you days trying to problem solve: If textures arent loading/ rendering (especially in bigger scenes) - Save project with assets > (if prompt asks you to locate any texture maps, do so) Close project and open your newly saved file.

if you are using c4d base shaders, remember to up the scale in the octane settings so they dont look pixelated

In Live Viewer options, turn off material previews to gain some extra speed while working with parameters. It also helps prevent some crashes.

Drag textures from an explorer/finder window straight into the node editor to make image textures! Also just use the node editor in general. It saves a lot of clicks. Who's got time for all them clicks?

Great idea with the multiple skies. I think the main reason your PT looks better is that the diffuse samples are higher than in your DL kernel. Get those diffuse passes up in direct lighting and you'll start filling in those shadows for less render bucks.

Most important tip: enable that autosave when you start using Octane in C4D :P

Just started on Octane myself. First tip literally saved me a humongous headache. Thank you!

Happy to help. That one was messing me up big time.

My best tip is that use filter size : 1.5 A natural pixel feel similar to redshift is created, and the artificial feel of octane disappears.

The most important thing is make sure your render seating "Image color profile" is"SRGB" and Tonemap type is "Tonemaped" . otherwise your output will not be the same as your render window looks. It bothers a lot lot lot lot people.

thanks man, awesome

the silly thing i most struggled with was the lock button on octane render its used for locking resolution then you can zoom out; there's a number menu on right side, so now you can look at how your render is gonna look I mean res

Great tutorial !! I was doing wrong untill I watched this 😆

My tip would be when working with neon lights or such. In Camera Imager using the "Saturate to White" slider is sometimes KEY. :)

Amazing as always thanks for the tips nick love ur vids!

@@CatrickSwayze99 yeah same. Was great when it was one of the few sites left where you could learn so much for free plus buy perpetual licensing of stuff. I hate all this subscription crap that’s happened. It’s made it all very unaffordable if you’re just a hobbyist and not making tons of money but the companies don’t give a sh*t. All they care about is $$$. There are so many different subscriptions that you need now and they are all joining up and colluding to force people into signing up. The only company I’ve noticed that even mentions hobbyists is ‘world creator’. They have a special price for non commercial users.

Another Issue of the LiveDB.. Sometimes (its random) Octane Plugin is crashing when u want to download Materials from the LiveDB so always save your Work before entering LiveDB! Greetings from Germany

i wish some of your awesome kit like light kit pro or hdri brwser would be available for blender haha ,there is literally nothing for octane blender in terms of plugins and that sucks .

A very good Tip if you have a outdoor Scene with the "Octane Sky" and "Octane Daylight". Check the Checkbox in the Daylight Tag to combine your HDRI Map of the Octane Sky and your Sunlight of the Octane Daylight. Match the sun of your HDRI and Daylight and connect their RotX (North Offset in Daylight) in XPresso Node so you can rotate them with just one slider. Hope that helps somebody out.

Octane is really amazing BUT i still have an issue i can t resolve... Any tips on how exclude object or material from being visible in refraction ? I know it s a unbiaised render engine but if there s a way to solve the problem that would be awesome. Thanks !

I don't think that's possible with Octane. Cheers.

omg, this the solution for my material problem... i was searching years for a solution and almost freaked out why its all black if i download my materials. thank you so much!

Tip 6 - if you plan on using octane to render don’t apply C4D materials because octane won’t render many of them if they have multiple shaders etc. You then have to back track and figure out which ones are making the render quit. This was happening to me when I first started using it and I had to do a lot of searching in my scene and online to get to the bottom of it. I actually hate octane materials. The manager is slow and laggy and it’s just not beginner friendly with all the node editing etc. C4D materials are so much easier.

I was just trying to solve that issue with hdri that it almost drive me nuts

The new training by David Ariew is easiy the best training offered on plus. Come for the RS training, STAY for the Octane 😎🤟 Otoy is bringing the fire!!!
