Cinema 4D Tutorial - Create Digital Nature Renders Using Octane Render [Part 1]

In this multi-part #Cinema4D #OctaneRender tutorial series, David will show you how to set up Forester trees and grass with shaders that are both transmissive and glossy, and dial in grass patch settings and random color node for more variation, as well as using vertex maps and procedural noises to create dead zones, and filling those areas with real displacement textures for soil and rocks. See below for Forester & displacement map links!

[@babysteps1]

Once again, DA doing the do. On the money as always. I like the way you use Forrester, I have been bumbling around with it for a few months when I have the time. To see you rinse it out saves me a lot trial and error, I have a bunch of 4x4 car clients that are all about the outdoor scenes, this is really valuable for me and can't wait for part 2. Thanks.

[@octanejesus]

Glad to hear it!!

Octane jesus! 💕

[@nathan_johnson]

This is awesome and very appreciated - any chance you could do a beach scene? Have some palm trees and sand and the ocean coming in.

[@ArgoBeats]

hehehe 25:18... an other top-notch tutorial from Godctane, thank you Dave! At 28:00 you can even keep that Gradient, change its mode to Complex and instead than the 2 colors input the 2 (or even more) slightly different Image Textures.

[@octanejesus]

Oh yeah forgot all about that! Thanks for the tip!

[@marzouqalbalawi5303]

Thanks a lot.

[@hondmij]

I love you so much right now!

[@MrTheraseus]

awesome tutorial! i am learning so much with these ones!. the only issue i have is that i start running out of vram really fast when i create more than one tree in forester for example, or when i add 8k materials. any suggestions to avoid this ? besides lowering the resolution of the textures. are 9k textures really necessary? thanks a loto!

[@villanosamoficial]

Thank you so much bro! Your the bomb!!! Boom!!!!! lol

[@onurnidayi]

Yes Mr.Ariew !!

[@esSJay221]

Without Pause and Rewind feature, this tutorial is impossible even to WATCH!🙏🤣 But learned a lot from this video. Thank you!

[@timuroguz1854]

Thanks!

[@thegreaterconundrum]

Love u davy

[@lucyfaire1980]

Good tutorial. It would be nice if you made the equivalent of Cinema 4D's native capabilities to show the pros and cons.

[@eyedesyn]

Mostly all cons I would guess using the native renderers haha

[@myinkwork]

Hi from Spain, awesome tuts and awesome way to understand octane. Is there a way that you can share with us your UI?. Thanks for for effort with your channel!!!

[@gregkrazanski]

david ariev is lovable

[@bognonalex5818]

Hello ! Excellent tutorials, I learned a lot. But I have a little problem. When I activate the parameter "Hyperwind" it does not affect the herbs during the animation, it remains all static. Please how could I resolve this. Thank you

[@eonblue46]

Woah! I follow you on instagram and have been waiting for this tutorial, but didn't realize it was you on here until after I had finished watching. neat. Can't wait for part two! I do have a technical question though. For high poly scenes like this - isn't the Vram of your least powerful card the total Vram that octane can use? Like 4 1080ti's doesn't let you go above 11gb Vram right? It just helps render faster?

[@octanejesus]

Exactly, the VRAM doesn't stack, and your smallest card will be your limiting factor. For instance if I had 3 x 1080tis and a 980ti, the scene would be limited to the 6GBs of VRAM unless I disable the 980ti, in which case it would go up to 11GBs.

[@doom9344]

Jesus !! Thank you. Force with you~

[@hantum]

good!!!!

[@kevinandremont1494]

thanks a lot

[@RoN43wwq]

great

[@futureframe1985]

ths nice iam a redshift user , wish i have redshift scatter like as octane scatter :( , but iam using forester multicloner..... thnx for tut

[@sylxeria]

Great tutorial

[@JWS1968]

Any chance of a tutorial on integrating a CGI environment with a real location. A world builder tutorial. I want to make a SciFi short film and want to be able to use 3D set extensions.

[@mohamedkelani1]

awesome! Would love to know how would you make this scene animated as wind simulation ? can we use octane scatter with forester wind ?

[@CircusOfBedlam]

+1 to that!

[@thicc1226]

in the details. when you get stuck, roll back to the beginning and start over. The other weay is to focus entirely on one set of commands

[@josef4d]

Awesome!!

[@octanejesus]

Thanks Josef!!

[@InsaneBurritos]

Wish I could start putting together a high end pc but grahpic card prices are so expensive atm :(

[@nayden]

nice

[@zaycvrter8485]

Incredible teacher.... I wish you taught Houdini

[@HallOfFighters]

plz tell me your pc specification and also mention budget ?

[@SalteTz]

I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on how you set up your cinema 4d like it is at 05:16

[@user-rr9zs1hq7f]

Hey, this works, but whenever I add my rig from the content browser, and then I convert the materials to octane, the rig does not show at all, I've tried not converting it at all, any fiixes?

[@TheDede508]

Can the grass in octane become dynamic like getting it to collide and interact with objects?

[@dimasputeraw8583]

hallo, i want to ask. i used to use Arnold Render. if i want to make like Octane Scatter do to make all grass on the surface, what should i do? thank you!

[@kraphik3d]

cg jesus thank you

[@didarulislamrifat6423]

I installed the plugin but it does not not apear in plugin section of cinema 4d hot to solve this

[@crystalmethvfx]

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?

[@netroalex5209]

I set the viewport levels to 6. I wanted to test it out. My strix970 didnt like it, neither did I Edit: I am doing the grass with the scatter now. I regret that I have started this.

[@resinds.p4898]

Could someone tell me how a amature user of cinema 4d can get the idea to create things like this ? I just dont understand where the knowledge comes from to create all kind of different things in programms like these

[@jm4giv]

How to do this in Arnold? The scatter part?

[@rayu_chan3042]

please can you tell me how to situp my c4d like yours so ican start
