I know I will get faster and faster as well.īasically everything you know about lighting and textures from daz. This Saturday for instance I did get 20 renders done though, week previous I managed to get 10 done on a Saturday. But the initial setup takes hours for a scene. But with the increased render speeds I am finding I can spit out more renders each night than before depending on the scene. I am currently slower, there is no batch so my workflow changed for that. Eyes i probably spent a good hour or so on each model to get right. I used redspec to get an initial look and went from there. Daz doesn't count, only a small portion of it is the same. For me I had a bit of background with it. Most of my time now is devoted to posing, expressions and getting around the octane quirks or changes im not familiar with.Ĭonverting textures will depend on your knowledge of shaders. Still it's far faster than IRay, the speed currently is offset by setting up textures and an environment which takes far longer. Sometimes I can do a render up to 10K iterations in like 5 minutes.

But if you do need to, it’s a juggling act between getting the right amount of scattering across all skin materials.Yeah using octane now, but only a couple weeks in.

Practically, you may not need to worry about this setting too much, for example if the object is distant or if the ears are covered. It is very much a case of trial and error, and an area I still need to work on. It very much depends on scale, lighting, position, kernel settings and so on. Sadly there is no one definitive setting that will work across all objects. -1.0 – light backscatters in the direction it came from.1.0 – more light continues to travel in the direction it was originally traveling.0 – light scattered the same amount in any direction.This controls the direction the light is scattered:

Scattering is similar to absorption, but defines the speed at which light will be scattered when it passes through an object. The image shown here is from the colour picker within octane – a colour set to absorb blue will scatter as red. It took me a while to get my head round this, but essentially the effect is the scattered light will be the opposite of this colour (from a wavelength perspective). This setting defines which light is absorbed faster, in the case of the 3 rd node it’s a green/blue. The scattered light will be the opposite of the absorption colour.
