Client : We need a landscape work for tomorrow, can you do ? Me : I need four days. Client : We saw on youtube, it is possible in ten minutes.

[@ArthurWhitehead]

😂😂😂

[@pietrofirmino]

I agree, these kind of videos make things appear easier than the real world.

[@ahsan118]

and then client asks you did nothing why charging so much for few minutes:( but Great video Arthur :)

[@LISBONKULT]

tell the client to do themselves since its only 10 min ez work aahaha

[@moali5153]

it's so dope bro hhhhhhhhh

[@FlackoWO]

Spitting out these videos so frequently, cheers mate!

[@endlesslovingmovement]

This is mind-blowing! I just started out diving deeper into 3D! I just downloaded Mixer and will soon get into Octane. Thanks for sharing!

[@kaidesigns-chrismaness1091]

Absolutely phenomenal!

[@yubowang9344]

Really useful,cool Arthur!

[@artofjhill]

Looks great and was fast. Great video, thank you

[@jimmwagner]

Looks great!

[@J2-pe6wz]

There is a huge, blatant, very unpleasant displacement map nonsense on the left side of the render. Glad to see I am not the only person who produces renders with those. Always a problem with these low down renders and Dmaps! My strategy for dealing with these is to make "patches" on a sphere and place those to cover up any of the jaggies that are really obvious: so put the ground texture manually to cover up such things. That, or render out with two sets of UVs and kind of photoshop it together in the problem areas. The thing Im speaking about jumps out at me, can be seen at 0:01 and whenever I see a ground render I always look for them and find them, even in Pixar films!

Following now! :D Bloody amazing work and workflow - can you go one step further and then add in camera movement if you were going to use this as VFX shot?

[@AnimeBadBoi]

I took an CINEMA 4D and completed it last week and it finally feels FUICKING AMAZING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE FUCK YOURE DOING!!!!!!!!!!!!! MANNN!!!!! KEEP THESE VIDEOS COMING !!!! Couple months ago I was just admiring the work confused and this was alien language to me -- NOW?!! this tutorial makes sense

Wow dude this is really good, sub right away. Just hearing of Quixel Mixer for the first time. Is it free?

[@leonwilliam2028]

Great job.Keep it up,don't care what they say.People are always there to criticize people's work looking for NOTICE like they are the best 3d artist or animator in the world.Most times when you check out their work,it's worse than a 2 week tryo's work.The world we live in today.

[@rakshith_4eal]

That's a fucking beautiful render

[@vytasrauckis6703]

Not sure if you noticed but both you and I got some areas of the landscape where the displacement created "shears" that look like the polygons were vertically distorted and you see the blocky polygons stretch. Is there anything you can do to fix that? I believe the main way you dealt with it was to backlight the scene so these area are in shadow.

[@kiat4797]

I wish these tutorials were in blender Amazing as always keep up the great work

[@Murtox]

woah another tutorial ;o liking it!

[@Alexcolombia28]

Awesome work. Quick question. Your description shows a Laptop Build and a Workstation render Unit. Are you using two different computers at the same time? Are you on C4d on your laptop while your Workstation render unit is on Octane? Please let me know. If so, how. I Just got a descent workstation but whenever I'm adjusting trees and C4d while Octane is going on... is very slow. Your octane rendering speed is amazing

[@juanaragon6112]

Hey man. Great video. Quick question. When I change the texture into a cubic projection, it does not look like yours. It looks like a checkered table cloth. Just a bunch of squares and no realistic sense of scale.

[@semineural5604]

Awesome, thank you, also how did you get the custom Octane buttons at the top?

[@decapitatedmonkey7546]

You go to Window ont the top bar and then Customization>Customize Palettes. From there you can type in the commands you want and place them in the palettes. For example type Octane and you will see a bunch of Octane related buttons.

[@cosmicchuen3856]

Hi Arthur! Great tut man! Is there any particular reason why u r cranking up Exposure in the CameraImager which is in the Octane Settings section and not the one in the Camera Settings? Thanx!

[@ArthurWhitehead]

It's faster than individually changing my camera tags

Are these Sticks and bushes also from Quixel?

[@official.albert]

I dont see those sample mixes at the beginning like wet mud. how can i turn them on?

[@user-bx9ug5dz4i]

What configuration is your computer?

[@enchant-rw2qt]

Work this with Vray too?

[@nirmalsudish1728]

can i make this with redshift?

[@krowwithakay]

That's really cool, but fireflies are the reason I stopped using octane, other renderer have issues with grain, but it's much easier to deal with than fireflies. They seriously need to solve that issue

[@rohithmn3753]

how to change the orientation of the scatter?

[@syriaz]

Could you move a bit faster? I can still follow some of your steps.

[@Joeherman]

Brilliant! May I ask what GPUs you have in your machine?

[@ArthurWhitehead]

I've updated the description :)

[@sygmod]

does anyone know why the geometry for this material is not working when I import? its just a flat texture wrap. (used the same preset, etc.)

[@planethamza8504]

my quixel mixer doesnt have sample mixes what do i do?

Awesome render, where can I get Octane render for Cinema ?

[@versalgraphics]

by buying it

[@Charly818]

Thank you Sir, but my english is very bad and therefore the tutorial is a bit too quick. Greatings from Austria/Europ.

[@FRODAM]

I ask out of curiosity, don't you use the forester? do you recommend it?

[@Kuazzy]

I've tried forester and its very useful for a variety of different trees/plants/grass, textures are a bit flat but with some adjustments, they look great. Quixel just has all those detail maps included so its a bit of a time saver

[@SquirrelInMyPants]

Which plug-ins or version of cinema 4d do you used? I cant do it because i dont have any buttons like live viewer or other.

[@sygmod]

you need to install Octane for it.

How to system configuration

[@malik_aviation]

Is it possible to make a photorealistic animation/rigged character?

[@ThePixelitomedia]

can you provide scene file?

[@mrfeathers3938]

I’m in blender and I get those weird bumpy lines as well! Does anyone know how I can stop this from happening?

[@ArthurWhitehead]

Most likely a bit depth issue, check the bit depth of your exr file and bit depth settings of your imported file in blender.

[@cyanide227]

can you put iphone and mac in this dirt please?

[@whitfx23]

Damn, that's looking really great. I have been running into an issue when trying to use an .exr for my displacement. The layer shows up red and does not actually end up displacing the geometry. Has anyone else ever had this problem?

[@la4871]

A workaround is to take the megascans exr into photoshop, covert it to greyscale, and save it as a tif.

[@sygmod]

@@la4871 hello, I wondered if you had anymore tips about this. I tried the tif trick and it didn't work. I don't get the layer showing up as red. It all is just a flat image texture and does not add the detailed geometry levels we get in the tutorial. followed all the steps exactly (even the wet mud preset)

[@la4871]

@@sygmod You could try 1) Increasing the displacement height in increments of 10. 2) Open your Displacement.exr file in photoshop and adjust the levels so that the darker areas are more prominent. 3) Refresh/restart your Octane live viewer periodically. Other than that I'm unsure. I like you, followed the tutorial step by step and am somewhat new to Octane myself.

[@sygmod]

@@la4871 hmmm thank you. So when you followed it, it was for sure the displacement map that changed geometry?

[@la4871]

@@sygmod Yes but this will only be visible within the Octane Live Viewer window

[@mvinch101]

i am taking about this particular moment 7:33. So, I don't actually have to change my render settings?

[@ChargedJosh]

Oh yeah, he has a preset of render options that he's opening if you pause frame by frame you could copy it exactly (of whats shown), however, I would suggest playing with the render settings and looking up a tutorial because calibrating each set of render setting per your scene can lend a lot to a final render!
