man how to say that, this is a tutorial we all need, thank you really so much, this is so appreched. i stay tuned for future tutorial as well p.s. one question, how to exports from bridge to octane material? doing like you c4d create normal material.
Hi Albus, thanks a lot! Yes you missed a fine detail, maybe I didn´t tell. So before exporting your assets to cinema4D with LiveLink, be sure to switch the render engine in the render settings from standard to octane. Now LiveLink knows, you want an octane material. happy creating!
@@3DBONFIRE thanks to you :) This was the missing step, i often do this change at the end, before the final render. P.s. i got an error: bridge livelink failed to setup material, i read and other people have this problem, but seems there isn't fix for now Thanks anyway and wait the next part ;D
I was so surprised when my husband recommended this amazing stuff with plants. He sent me a link to your tutorial and finally, I understood the hidden answers to my never-asked questions related to unreal-real view in C4D, Thank you!
Wow man! Finally someone they explains everything so nicely and calm. Usually I’m not really into these long tutorials, but this is definitely the right way to learn. Thank you man! I owe you one!
I am watching your video with the help of a translator, and your explanations are very clear. I've been looking for a similar guide to cinema 4d for a long time, and I found you. in short, I'm looking forward to the next videos, thanks a lot for the tutorial 🔥🔥🔥
I'm going to say this right now. If you using an older version of Octane and you change the material to Glossy and it still doesn't look realistic (or looks shaded oddly/cartoonish), go in the Index tab and raise the value. And make sure you play with the Roughness as well. This changed my life.
Excellent stuff. I like the idea of using the noise as an effector and not in the distribution parameter of the scatter. It is certainly more flexible this way. And I assume this is what enabled to you make the growth animation. Also, I think the regular patterns you get with the grass is due to the distribution being linked to surface polygons. Looking forward to the following video of this series.
Yes, it is more flexible in my opinion, but you can go both ways. But by the end of the week i will show you some tricks with using the distribution parameter in octane scatter, too.
Thanks for sharing :) 20:40 an atlas is an image which combines several images which go onto different objects into one file. This helps to reduce the ammount of files needed and speeds up rendertimes. The speed increase is less important for offline renderers like octane but realtime renderers like game engines do benefit from everey milisecond saved. By the way: Schöne Grüsse aus Köln ;-)
Hi Markus! Thank you for your tuts. I have a question to the import Megascan plants into C4D. Do you know, if it is possible to have the plants without animation from Megascan? I mean, the plants are animated and it can see for example in Unreal Engine. But in C4D after the import they are not animated. How I can fix this problem, if it is possible? Vielen Dank!
Hey man, great tutorial. one question how do you export your files from Bridge to cinema as Octane materials? every time I export a file from bridge I need to convert all my textures to octane. thank you.
another question , is octane compatible with Cinema R23 or did I already miss the train....on their webpage there is just something said about R20?????
Thanks so much for this great tutorial. I really like your voice and how excited you get by your work! I have a question.. I've been following along with Arnold. So far i can't seem to find a alternative to Octane Scatter in Arnold. But I seem to get the same effect if I use a plain old cloner with Multi-Instance checked and using points or even Matrix in the viewpoint. What is the difference between that and using Octane Scatter? Does it speed up the render?
Good Question! Basically since C4D has MultiInstances, its doing the same! Wanted to say something about that, too. But: I compared both Systems and it seems for me, that cloning via OctaneScatter allows even more Clones then MultiInstances before slowing down.
Hey Im curious you mention that youre going to get into the technique for controlling exact location positioning of scatters omitting along pathways/walkways, and such-- have you made that portion yet?
@@3DBONFIRE Oh. My English is kinda bad. Especially listening. I must have missed that following all the way through. Your tutorials are awesome and it helped me alot. Thank you, sir.
Thank you very much! However, I am still not really understanding the translucency thing. You just simply import the materials, set one to glossy and the other to diffuse, put them in a mix material and that's it. It is hard to understand why that works... Would you explain that a little?
How does mixing a diffuse and glossy material create transparency? I just got a slightly less shiny plant lol. EDIT: Nevermind! It's was the transmission tag in the diffuse material that does the trick.
@GPU LV 99 nowadays you can just use the universal material that mega scans imports to. But to answer your question, no, you need the transmission channel (absent from glossy material) to make it really look good.
hey, had the simular issue on universal materials transmission showing noisy as hell & denoised it looked even worse, Set the transmission type to diffuse & it'll work like before!
Yes they are already set up with octane materials. For that, before you import the asset, you have to switch the render engine in cinema4d rendersettings from standard to octane👍.
Hi hru?nice job! i have a question, i dont know what happend with my animation Created with scatter and shaded, I work in the interface I see it in the interface, at the render of the window of Octane also works, but when I render to export the animation does not works i see my other animation but the animation with scatter not, does anyone know why this happens?
Hello. I've been following this tutorial but I don't get any reflections on the material, I followed it step by step. Do you have any idea why that might happen?
I looks like you dont have a texture connected to the specular channel of your _gloss material (30:06) . Is that correct? Because I tried to follow, but my reflections look totally different or rather are barely visible...
Your reflections are barely visible...okey, so: try to adjust the index of your material. It is set by standard to something like 1.3 but you could go up with that number.
@@3DBONFIRE I just downloaded the octane demo for the first time before trying to go along your tutorial, so it might be it has to do with the demo or the newest version. But can you tell me if, after you changed the material type to glossy, do you have a texture going into the specular channel or is it just a black color going into it? If its black that would result in full reflectivity on all parts right? Thanks for your quick response and clarification btw!
hi, i've a question: why can't i make the plants translucent like yours? i make the mix material with the diffuse and glossy materials like you but nothing appen.
I guess I was a little fast on that one. I use a random effector and put it into the effector list of my octane scatter. Give the random effector a bit rotation values.
I also have the error: bridge livelink failed to setup material, so I have to connect all the nodes to the textures. But I cant make it translucent! I'm sure there's something wrong but I cant figure it outtt Can someone send me their project or a photo of the nodes so I can understand what I'm doing wrong? :(
Hi miriam, sorry for the late response...you only have translucency in a diffuse material, but I m sure you know that. Sadly, I dont know whats the problem with your livelink:-(...it should be pretty simple and I dont know where the error is coming from...
3DBONFIRE II’ve uploaded live link, but I have to import from Bridge with the c4d render on or it says error with the octane material (maybe cause it’s v3,07), but when I connect the nodes manually on a new octane material now it seems to work fine... 🤷🏼♀️😂 thanks though !
Great tutorial! thank you for sharing it. Question Anyone getting Octane mix material creation crashing when adding the first to it? either glossy or diffuse. Thanks in advance.
Do you know of any way to animate a breeze going through octane scatter objects, or c4d multi-instance? This has been a huge issue I haven’t been able to figure out yet.
Really love this tutorial! But whenever I press or do anything in cinema 4D, the shader effector changes, so it changes the layout of the scatter, even when I'm not in the shader effector. Any idea why that is?
