What you'll learn
This workshop will focus on the process of using Octane Render to create photoreal renders.
Understanding how to use this powerful tool is a great way to increase the quality of your 3d work and the speed of your workflow.
Octane Basics
Get your bearings with an overview of lights, cameras, and node-based shaders. This introduction to Octane is designed for new users who want to understand how this tool works and what it can do. Using a series of examples, with files provided so you can follow along, Jesus will get you up to speed on the basics of Octane Render.Â
Photo-Realism
Knowing the basics of Octane is important, but it’s only step one. The next step is understanding why photo-real renders look they way they do. Jesus will break down example images and discuss what elements are needed to make your renders more convincing.Â
Scene Building
Now that you have the basics of Octane Render, as well as an artistic foundation in photo-realism, it’s time to build a scene so you can practice. We’re providing the models and textures so you can follow along and customize the scene how you see fit. This is dedicated to getting your hands dirty so you can master the process.
Shaders & Rendering
The node based, shader system is powerful. In this section Jesus will walk through more nodes so you can see examples of mixing textures, interacting with the mograph module and pushing your renders for a composite. This is designed to give you a deeper understanding so it applies to more of your own projects.
Resources
To finish this workshop Jesus is going to point you towards additional resources and tools that can help your work improve. This conclusion will line up with everything you just learned but give you insight on how to keep getting better.
