Watched this tutorial about 5 months ago and learned about the subscription. Immediately subscribed and it changed my life! Now delivering much better render work, having a blast and my clients are all smiling. Thank you for adding the subscription info into this video !!! Lovin' Octane !!!
GAME CHANGER!! I wish I could have told this company that because of this video and all you information that I purchased this program because of you! Many thanks and I appreciate all the information!!!
Dude. Please more tutorials. You're really great at it. I learned more watching this one video about Octane that I've learned in all the other ones combined. Really helpful, inspiring stuff. Thank you.
one of the best breakdowns I have seen of someone using octane. I really wish the manual would be a bit stronger when it goes to all of the material nodes.
I myself thought that VR is somthing connected to virtual reality, 360 degree and stuff like that untill guys from Otoy told me that this is subscription. Thank you, very usefull! There are not many tutorials on the internet about Octane. Hope to see more from you. I love this render engine.
Agreed - very interesting learnt a lot. David any further thoughts / tips on using Poliigon textures in Octane C4D - They look great just a small disconnect as they have tutorials on the standalone octane renderer and can't find anything about using them in Octane C4D.
This video was AWESOME. I've been wanting to learn more about how Octane compares to Modo's preview renderer, and your video was perfect. I'm so used to art directing shots in Modo and a non-real-time renderer is unusable for me. But Octane looks better for animation flickering and THAT BLOOM on the lights looks incredible. Fantastic overview!
This is freakin' awesome! I've had Octane for a year or so, but haven't gotten around to using it... Have only been playing with a metric shit ton of blurry reflections and frosty glass-spheres (A LOT I tell you!), just cause it's so damned fast even on an iMac. Gotta say that even if you're just playing with your favorite buttons, this is one of the more informative Octane overviews I've seen :-) Can't wait to see what you'll come up with next! Also: I can't believe why any professionals are still using CPU renderes... It boggles my mind why Maxon haven't already build/bought an unbiased GPU-engine.
This was a much better intro tutorial than one I paid for! Thanks, greatly appreciated. I would pay for your series. Specifically...as inviting having a real time render is, I would appreciate learning from others how to anticipate starting design in Physical, vRay, because of ultimately long renders. So far I've used Octane for product shots, and like u say, art design can be awfully fast. I've found the material system lacking compared to vRay, et al, but maybe thats my lack of expertise.
Amazing tutorial! Really worthwhile watching it and super helpful the first minute info about the subscription to Otoy. Thanks guys :) Greetings from Spain
Great tutorial, very clear and you covered a lot of stuff that will be very useful. Would be awesome if you could cover creating fog or mist in Octane for your next tut. I always find it either a hit or miss result for me.
Wow what an eye opening tut! I'm trying to decide which 3rd party render is best for me (2.7Ghz i7 with 16Gb RAM). With the $20/mo I think you helped me decide! Thanks!
Whoa!! Cool! Just what I needed! I was confused by the VR name when I was looking at octane. Figured it was too expensive right now but the subscription is cool!
Awesome! Thank you trying to get back to Octane this overview really inspire me! Otoy should hire you for marketing or atleast give EJ a free Octane license for all of that new customers after you brought in after you told that $20 tip. :D
Great and smooth tutorial ! Was fun to watch. I always think, that you can learn a piece of software at its best, if you follow your own or someones else workflow. And as an Octane user, I'm always curious on how other guys find their ways and dig up some secrets. So, thank you for this :)
Awesome! Thank you for the tutorial. A lot of nice little tips and tricks in there. Hopefully we will see more tuts from you really soon. Best of luck to you and EJ!
EJ bro - I finally got Octane XD - Thank you and David for this great intro to a an amazing render engine. My Dual 2070supers are quite happy! Looking forward to Basecamp 2.0
Octane is SUPPOSED to have released a Toon shader but we're still waiting...we'll see what happens first, me jumping to Octane or the Toon Shader releasing. :)
Damn, I paid the 600$ a couple weeks ago, didn't have any idea that the VR version was the normal one. Greath tutorial, though! I'm new to the plugin so I still have no idea what I do 80% of the time!
Marc GS hey I don't have a single subscription. I have 3 x standalone and 3 x plugin licenses! If you really want full flexibility it helps to have that full version!
Arnold, I think, is the highest quality, most controllable production renderer out there. The issue with it for me though, is that it uses CPUs to render, vs GPUs, and is much more expensive. You'd need to have a pretty beefy render farm to approach similar render times, so Octane seems to me to be the best one-man-band type solution out there, though people like Trevor Kerr would disagree (that dude manages to build tons of cheap CPU render nodes, but he's one of the only solo artists I know that really makes Arnold work great for them). Octane is also much easier to learn, I feel. Hope that helps!
Great tutorial. I've been looking into Octane render but i have the trash can cylinder mac which does not have a compatible video card for Octane and can not be switched out. Bummer! So, I am contemplating the purchase of the external Bizon box including a NVIDIA Tital X card which will unfortunately cost me just over $2,000. I know, ouch! I guess hearing about the "VR" version helps a bit. Thanks again for the great tutorial!
Hey Jamie, I was considering the same thing but it's all about if you trust what Apple is going to come out with next year... Or if you like paying that premium for Apple products in lieu of speed.
Thanks for your feedback David and EJ. Lots to consider! I am a graphic designer by trade and mac is still the industry standard for us. so... I think for the time being I will stick with the mac and upgrade to a slightly less expensive card "NVIDIA 980 Ti" and the Bizon box for a total investment of $1,500. Keep those videos coming guys, they are much appreciated and invaluable some of us!!!

Wow, thanks a ton!!

This is such a great tutorial! I've just started using Octane and this has changed my life. Thank you so much! :D
Glad to hear it!!!
Huge thanks man!
I've been using Octane for many months, but quite honestly a lot of these bits eluded me. I would like to think this will up my game!

Great and smooth tutorial ! Was fun to watch.
I always think, that you can learn a piece of software at its best, if you follow your own or someones else workflow. And as an Octane user, I'm always curious on how other guys find their ways and dig up some secrets.
So, thank you for this :)

How does Octane stack up with the Arnold Renderer? I'm really interested in hearing your opinion on how it differs.
Arnold, I think, is the highest quality, most controllable production renderer out there. The issue with it for me though, is that it uses CPUs to render, vs GPUs, and is much more expensive. You'd need to have a pretty beefy render farm to approach similar render times, so Octane seems to me to be the best one-man-band type solution out there, though people like Trevor Kerr would disagree (that dude manages to build tons of cheap CPU render nodes, but he's one of the only solo artists I know that really makes Arnold work great for them). Octane is also much easier to learn, I feel. Hope that helps!
Thx for this helpfull Tutorial !
Thank you very much for your Chinese subtitles
welcome!
THANK YOU!
Amazing explanation, just love your way of teaching David. BTW could you share your c4d layout to download it please?
[Really awesome toturial! thank you!
Eyes I loved your lessonnnnn you are the Mannnnnnnnnnnnnn
what should i get a 1070 ti or 1080 ti?
Great tutorial. I've been looking into Octane render but i have the trash can cylinder mac which does not have a compatible video card for Octane and can not be switched out. Bummer! So, I am contemplating the purchase of the external Bizon box including a NVIDIA Tital X card which will unfortunately cost me just over $2,000. I know, ouch!

NooooOOOOO you gotta switch to PC!
