Cinema 4D Tutorial - Otoy Octane Render Overview

[@eddierobbertse8957]

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 !!!

[@octanejesus]

Really glad to hear that Eddie!

[@Teheiron]

I use Octane for years now, watching every tutorial I can find, and still learned some new things from this! Keep up the awesome work!

[@octanejesus]

Great to hear! It's awesome if these can appeal to both beginners and experienced folks.

[@pieminator6969]

YES! Please make it a series - the more Octane videos the merrier!

[@octanejesus]

Got lots more ideas where that came from!

[@JeromeLove]

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!!!

[@erdemergaz6987]

I love this guys work. Hope to see you more often in tutorial videos David.

[@octanejesus]

Erdem Ergaz thanks man!! Yeah I'll keep em coming!

[@sambradford9222]

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.

[@eyedesyn]

More stuff to come from David!

[@graphicINmotion]

This is probably the best Octane tutorial I watched so far - and I´ve watched many :) Thank you!

[@octanejesus]

Wow, thanks a ton!!

[@andyboyle2615]

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.

[@danielward6036]

I never comment on videos but I had to comment on this one. Excellent tutorial, to the point and covers a lot in 36mins.

[@octanejesus]

Awesome, thanks!!

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks for the comment & thanks for watching, Daniel!

[@hisroyalillness]

Thanks David. Very good tutorial. I hope to see more from you.

[@tonyr4826]

This is an EXCELLENT tutorial. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us these tips. Please do more!!

[@octanejesus]

I will for sure. Thanks!

[@super9tv]

THIS IS BRILLIANT. Thanks so much! Please keep on releasing Octane tutorials, there are not enough good ones out there.

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks Liam! A new octane tutorial is out!

[@cassiusmarques]

Really awesome breakthrough/tutorial/guide. Nice tip about the subscriptions too. I was about to buy the standalone when I saw the video.

[@octanejesus]

Really glad I could help save you some $$$!

[@maxbowman2202]

Packed full of incredible tips and tricks. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you!

[@octanejesus]

Thanks Max!!

[@jasonjames8538]

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.

[@octanejesus]

That's great! So glad it was helpful!

[@kwkdesigns4721]

This was one of the best tutorials I have ever seen. Thank you so much!

[@semmussaev]

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.

[@octanejesus]

Yeah so weird right!? Thanks!

[@chrisrezende]

Awesome tutorial, David! Thanks a lot!

[@herodot86]

i just bought octane and I am so looking forward to get into this. Its amazing. thank you for this great tut

[@eyedesyn]

Have fun!

[@alexyoung3818]

This is such a great tutorial! I've just started using Octane and this has changed my life. Thank you so much! :D

[@eyedesyn]

Glad to hear it!!!

[@TOMCHANTVFX]

Brilliant little tips throughout thankyou! Please do more Octane C4d tutorials!

[@aeko]

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!

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!

[@greenice1224]

Superb tutorial load full of life saver tips!! thanks a lot David.

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks Gustav! Glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@yzchen5505]

Thanks for sharing this tutorial, hope to share more advanced tutorial.

[@seansiegler]

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!

[@octanejesus]

No problem dude! Really glad it was helpful!

[@marialuengo983]

[@sebastiandeerhead4564]

David, thank you so much. You are a life saver, literally

[@octanejesus]

Sebastian DeerHead Sweet glad to hear it!

[@bengerwerke4238]

figuratively :)

[@tyronethomas5278]

SO DOPE!! Fantastic overview!

[@barkingsheltie]

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.

[@robertochriqui8171]

best Octane fast tut out there, keep it up!! :)

[@andrewmm9696]

Fantastic tutorial. Thank you.

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks for watching!!

[@loganwalsh]

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!

[@eyedesyn]

Yeah super weird they named it that, right? Glad David helped shed some light on that!

[@octanejesus]

It don't make no sense.

[@mattbridges8384]

Thank you that was very helpful, I too was hesitant because of the VR thing.

[@eyedesyn]

Really dumb name for it for sure. misleading

[@sensiblynumb]

Still the best intro vid to Octane. Cheers man

[@bozaja07]

The best c4d chanel ever

[@feinschmecker]

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.

[@octanejesus]

feinschmecker thanks a ton! I'm totally pumped to make more of these!

[@JLMIJLM]

really amazing video, I hope you'll make more octane tutorials!

[@eyedesyn]

More to come for sure! Thanks for watching!

[@pixelpetes]

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.

[@octanejesus]

Thanks! I've definitely got a fog / haze tutorial in the works!

[@brYan-one7]

This is awesome! And thx for the Octane subscription info!!

[@dimashishkov2909]

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!

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks Dima! Really appreciate you watching, glad you enjoy David's video!

[@xXLeatherFace1]

Yo man i just started a few days ago with octane demo and im loving it. I'd love to see more octane tutorials Cheers!

[@octanejesus]

xXLeatherFace1 good to hear it man!

[@xotr8433]

Thanks a lot for the tutorial Helped me a lot knowing a few more things. Continue with this, not so many tutorials for octane that is great.

[@octanejesus]

Thanks! Yeah, hoping to fill that niche!

[@eyedesyn]

David def knows his Octane and excited for some new tutorials from him!

[@3D-PHASE]

30´40" "Uncheck camera" - great tip! Thx!!!

[@octanejesus]

[@octanejesus]

Glad to hear it, thanks!!

[@AlexeiPetrovykh]

Thanks! Great video! looking forward for more tuts!)

[@AzureVerde]

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 :)

[@steve_the_designer]

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!

[@jean-marcfueri6678]

Awesome content, awesome delivery, well done and thanks!

[@Stories_behind_the_eye]

[@flamefeather01]

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

[@otto4life12]

Cool maaan !

[@rockaFORCE]

This tweaker is in the know! I see what you are doing EJ - easy access tuts for the eventual move to PC... GPU?

[@eyedesyn]

DAMN! You figured me out! :)

[@octanejesus]

hahaha this is 100% true

[@jedezign1]

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!

[@octanejesus]

NooooOOOOO you gotta switch to PC!

[@eyedesyn]

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.

[@jedezign1]

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!!!

[@Ryan.Lohman]

How does Octane stack up with the Arnold Renderer? I'm really interested in hearing your opinion on how it differs.

[@octanejesus]

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!

[@GD15555]

Please do a tutorial with vdb fire smoke textures.

[@KenedyTorcatt]

Amazing explanation, just love your way of teaching David. BTW could you share your c4d layout to download it please?
