I dont always go through how to render these in Octane, as it's often the same steps each time and not everyone has access to the plugin. If you want to see exactly how I've done the lighting and texturing, all the final render ready project files (which include all the lighting, materials and render settings) can be downloaded from our Patreon page here: www.patreon.com/cgshortcuts we also have a more indepth courses about materials on our website cgshortcuts.com/courses/the-octane-materials-masterclass/ and we'll make one on lighting and rendering soon;) Thanks for watching!

Why use a Cloth and SDS, when you could use the Cloth itself for subdivision?

@CGShortcuts 4 жыл бұрын

@NLbeta 4 жыл бұрын

I encounter material deformation and glitches with this geometry when just using cloth surface subdivision - instead it works best with either octane or redshift subdivision tag or subdivisions. In other occasions you can get away with just subdividing with cloth, in this case it was used merely for its thickness properties.

Thanks for the comment SpriteKnight! You dont need Octane at all for this or just about every one of our tutorials. Because we make so much content (and we pay for Octane) we use it all the time because it renders MUCH MUCH MUCH faster and MUCH higher quality than the standard renderer - not to say you cant get great renders from the standard renderer - it's just that we dont have time to wait around forever for renders. But let us know exactly what you'd like to see from us and we'll see what we can do;)
