Thanks, Raphael! Octane doesn't like coplanar polygons... that simple. Even with clipping material, clipping will produce artifacts on coplanar surfaces. This is something to lookout on Octane - not sure if the same applies to other render engines. Additionally: Nested dielectrics won't solve coplanar polygons problem, there should always be an offset in or out ("in" in case of nested).

@SilverwingVFX

Yeah I tried to explain exactly that. Sorry if I didn't do a good job with it. Maybe I should have used the word "coplanar" 🙌 I think every Renderer struggles with it. Basically the renderer would have to know what the user wants to make give the proper outcome.

If you do not want to use the nested dielectrics the best practice is to overlap the fluid slightly with the glass. Leaving air in between the fluid and the glass is not good. It leads to unrealistic results!

Very cool, can you show you some more of the new features for 2022. What bothers me a lot at the moment is that the octane random walk is not as good as the new redshidft random walk (redshift SSS is closer to Arnold). The octane random walk CG is too heavy and not real enough. Another very confused new version of octane hair material and redshift new version of hair, it is difficult to be illuminated by lights, it will be a bit dead and dark, this is easy to solve using the Arnold hair material in maya xg hair, and the default parameter melanin A value of 1 is very realistic and good-looking (unfortunately the CPU rendering is very slow and usually takes several hours to wait). In any case, I am very grateful for any tutorials that can be made with my heart, thank you for your selfless sharing, teacher!

Thank you very much. Also for your suggestions! Interesting to hear about Random Walk. I am still using the old SSS system mostly. Do you have any examples where the Arnold / Redshift SSS excels over Octane? In my small tests that I have made the multi scatter SSS approach of Octane mostly looked better and did not produce any of those edge darkening artifacts. But those tests were not limited to Random Walk. I will do some tests with it too ans see! Thanks again for your long message. Appreciate it!

​@@SilverwingVFX The main reason I use Random Walk is to prepare for realistic character animation. This question is more important, but not so important (because I will switch redshift when octane can't achieve my expected effect, just a few days ago, redshift finally updated the Random Walk test and the results met expectations, but I still prefer octane ipr interaction , this very fast feedback result is used to build the scene) I can send the test results to the teacher with a video recording (but since the work is not completed, it cannot be disclosed, and my level is relatively poor, for fear of misleading people) If you agree, I will contact you electronically on Twitter, under the official homepage you provided, and send the test results (you can also decline, or not reply to this message).

Curious if you have any suggestions on a problem I've having with a clipping material. I'm using a clipping material on a glass object that has a displacement map on it, the clipping material is working, but at certain angles I can still see the refraction of the displacement floating in the scene. Any idea why this might be or what I could do about it?

@SilverwingVFX

Hi there and thank you very much for your question. First of all, are you on the newest Octane. In Octane 2022 has some bugs with the clipping material were squished. But might very well be that you are encountering a Bug / Limitation with the displacement there. Unfortunately I have no other Ideas then trying to making the Ray Epsilon smaller and seeing if that helps. Usually going one magnitude smaller is good so e.g. from 0.001 to 0.0001 Hope this helps. If not, I would suggest contacting support! Cheers and a great Day to you!

Hi, another question that always bugs me: what if you have bubbles in the water? What would their priority be? Glass = 2 ; Water = 1 ; Bubbles = higher priority than the glass too? So, 3? Thank you so much, I always come back to your videos in order to make sure I did everything right :)

@SilverwingVFX

Жыл бұрын

Hi there Adrien, nice seeing you here again. Thank you very much for your question! I usually leave Glass at 0 and go into the negative range. But to go with your example: Glass = 3, Bubbles = 2, Water = 1. Also make sure the air material has an IOR of 1.0 To get a hold of what has what priority, you can always think of what displaces what: Glass = Not displaced. Must have the highest priority. Water = Gets displaced by glass, air, and eventual Ice. So it must have a lower priority then all of these. Air = Gets displaced by glass. Displaces water end eventual Ice. Therefore the priority has to be just under that of the Glass. Ice = Gets Displaced by glass and air. Displaces water. Therefore has to have a priority lower then air and higher then water.

@@hdo-gd5tj I am quoting myself here as this is the best way to think about: "To get a hold of what has what priority, you can always think of what displaces what" I am giving air the highest priority in the video because I have an air bubble in the foot of the glass and therefore need the glass to be displaced by air. If the air bubbles were only inside of the water, then a lower priority then glass is fine. Hope this resolves your confusion.

​@@hdo-gd5tj Thank you for your response. Very nice. About the Ray Epsilon. Usually with smaller Ray Epsilon values there are more details to be caught by the rays, therefore more work to calculate. So yes, I guess this is expected. It depends on your scene and therefore what a lower Ray Epsilon value might reveal if it means longer render times or not.
