I cannot stress enough how iconic you are for making all this material. It helps a LOT.

[@NewPlastic]

My man Gustavo, here for you dawg

[@bhupendrasingh757]

This is Epic, thanks a lot for coming up with this.

[@NewPlastic]

My pleasure buddy!

[@sweetbreeze8214]

Thanks a LOT to you and your supporters🙏🙏🙏, really I can't express how grateful I am, to be able to watch this for free!

[@NewPlastic]

Can't thank my supporters enough, the only reason why I can do this. Can't express how happy I am to be able to provide all this for free. I learned everything I know from free information online, so I can't see myself charging for any of this.

[@markinducil2122]

I don't usually comment but this is a lot of work. Thank you for doing this.

[@peachkkt124]

Appreciated for putting all your time to make this video!

[@NewPlastic]

Pleasure's all mine bud

[@ThomvanVliet]

I consider myself quite the Octane expert but I learned a lot of small details from these! Great stuff

[@NewPlastic]

Yup even I learned a lot from it! Glad to hear it!

[@3rdDim3nsn3D]

This Video is a pure Treasure! Thank you very much for putting the effort into this🙏

[@andresleon1410]

Dude!!!! I was actually looking for a little guide for Octane nodes to expand my palette and then you post this. This is awesome, keep up the great work!

[@NewPlastic]

There you go now you can kill it

[@aesonica]

This is seriously the video I needed for such a long time. Thank you.

[@NewPlastic]

I knew it. Made it especially for you brother

[@TravisRagsdale]

Crazy the amount of time and work that probably went into making this! So much to cover, bravo!

[@tomcoben]

For real! What up Travis lol!

this is holy grail for octane user

[@Inazuchi]

Thank you SO much for these videos. You are single handedly one of the main reasons I've been able to learn Octane in C4D as well as I have. Genuinely so so grateful. God bless you and I hope you're doing amazing!

[@NewPlastic]

I'm doing amazing just hearing you say this!

[@MrMaksoud]

we are waiting for part 2 :) thank you so much

[@NewPlastic]

It's out!

[@nicolasmanrique6964]

Dude I was dreaming of this tutorial thank you so much!

[@NewPlastic]

Man I was dreaming about this for months! Finally got to it

[@jooaquin]

Dammit NewPlastic! I’ve been using Octane for 4 years and been wating for this explanation the hole time! SOO much is being clarified if feel I’m having a divine experience 😂. Thank you so much for this series!

[@DARKROOMvfx]

Bro, this is absolutely awesome! Thank you very much!

[@NewPlastic]

I got you bossy

[@arenasvfx]

WOW .. this is insane. Nice!

[@hloshak]

Incredible video my man, hats off to you!

[@NewPlastic]

Happy to share everything!

[@anabds6067]

Such an amazing and hard work. Thank you so much for this content, it's impressive. This is a great material for all the 3D community. So gratefull!

[@NewPlastic]

My pleasure, honestly I'm just doing these for myself hehe

[@ilikeitwhatisit]

Awesome, thanks so much! Naturally, I need to ask if you'll do one for Redshift as well. Because every time something awesome and free pops up online, we have to immediately ask for MORE. Before even watching.

[@greenbean0940]

finally, a reliable artist's 'explain everything' video.

[@NewPlastic]

Haha if you asked my ex, im not so reliable. But I know my ways around Octane!

[@colcat1]

LEGEND! Your content never dissapoints 🔥 This channel deserves to grow inmensely!

[@NewPlastic]

Oh we're growing buddy, slowly but surely

[@OKAMI_CD]

love the tutorials keep it up! ( love the music in the background aswell giga addictive lol )

[@NewPlastic]

Fuck yeah, honestly fuck the Octane content I just want people to enjoy the music lowkey

[@user-ip4wb1lj6y]

really needed this

[@NewPlastic]

I knew it. And there you go

[@bharat5194]

This is gold! Thanks for sharing

[@NewPlastic]

My pleasure

[@0zaidi]

it's about time someone did the nodes speedrun, thanks man, it was much needed to discover new ways and workarounds (in theory at least, I like thinking about my node setup beforehand), normally I have a limited workflow due to crashes which prevents me from trying, frustration gets real haha, so thank you again for this ❤‍🔥 I have a small note regarding the Image Texture node, the gamma slider works the opposite way because it's used to cancel out the applied curve, it defaults to 2.2 so it's easier to import non-linear textures (like illustrations from illustrator, or package designs) however, when using ACES, there's still a slight color shift, so instead of using the linear-rgb with the gamma slider, I chose the sRGB from the menue and that produces more accurate colors imho

[@NewPlastic]

Yup I know about the inverted Gamma, decided to not go into explaining it tho. But interesting note about the sRGb/ACES thing. That's very weird, honestly, it's all a wild west. I think the best practice is to know your tools enough to know what works for you. Thanks for watching and thanks for you support!!

[@0zaidi]

of course man, I appreciate what you're doing, it's helping me a lot @@NewPlastic

[@RaselerKaj]

Incredible man! great job

[@NewPlastic]

My pleasure!

[@andygagarin3725]

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I wanted

[@NewPlastic]

I had a feeling my dude

[@kayodeakindun564]

Ojeng my octane prof. Thanks for this.

[@Ross_Garden]

My Guy! Lot of work you put in this. Even after all this time, you can still teach me a trick or two :) Thank you 👍

[@NewPlastic]

Man even I'm learning here

[@igorrocha1819]

Tanks man! this is gold

[@danielossio]

8:00 the scaling works if you scale in the Coordinates tab of the cube (or switch to object mode instead of model mode and scale. it changes the scale wich is normaly at 1)

[@NewPlastic]

Ahhh, good to know! I guess it's cuz it's connected to the UVs of that object. Makes total sense. Thanks boss

[@danielossio]

@@NewPlasticabsolutely! learned a lot here but really looking forward to part 2 or 3 where you dive into the more advanced once :D thanks for your videos!

[@eddierobbertse8957]

Wow, I've never touched some of these nodes. This video's awesome!

[@NewPlastic]

Hell yeah, thats the point!

[@edry]

Thanks for putting together!!

[@NewPlastic]

My pleasure!

[@psychod74]

Wooow ! finally someoneeee has done that that's crazy

[@NewPlastic]

I'm actually surprised no one did yet

[@dennisweyel3624]

Great video, very helpful. Thank you! 🙌

[@NewPlastic]

My pleasure dawg

[@geffridamer9798]

This video will be gold for the next years

[@NewPlastic]

Only until octane adds 50 more nodes next year

[@talhazulqarnain2126]

This is beyond appreciateable !

[@NewPlastic]

I just want to be....appreciated!

[@mrk0per]

U sir, are an ABSOLUTE LEGEND. Thank you

[@aspizak]

Great stuff as always.

[@NewPlastic]

My man! Great to see you here

[@llamaloops4655]

Just a thing for anyone using the bake texture node in blender octane, don't forget to plug the uv map in the noise or the results will be different

[@mikis6498]

Otoy I should hire you. It is incredible that there is no guide like this officially

[@thomasdorval7339]

thank you SO much !

[@tony_cgivfx]

Love your messages at the beginning "go sweat!" 🤸‍♂️

[@NewPlastic]

Haha I just say whatever is going on with me that week

[@azizakhmedov]

ultra useful stuff

[@NewPlastic]

Yezzir! Happy to help

[@fivetengiant883]

This is incredibly useful. I've been using Octane professionally for 10 years, and even helped write some of the help documentation. However, even in just the first 5-minutes, I learned a fair amount. Any news on part 2? Or is that already posted up?

[@spacejourneywaves5420]

This is so freaking nice damn

[@NewPlastic]

[@Dawood.k]

i hope someone will make same video for redshift also

[@NewPlastic]

That's hopefully what I'm gonna do once I'm done with the Octane nodes

[@JocelynBordat]

Great tutorial !

[@NewPlastic]

[@alvin3171997]

Someone finally did it! The gem stones has been completed ✊

[@NewPlastic]

Not yet, there's still part 2!

Thanks for the fantastic content dude! 👏😍After 9 years using the cracked version 3.11 (unfortunately the conversion from pounds £ to real R$ is a little unfair 😪), today I was finally able to purchase this little monster. Your tutorial will fit like a glove (= nice!). Again, thanks for the great content (s, and greetings from Brazil! 👊🤝👍

[@felipuri1723]

Hi! Can you do it with redshift? Graeat video

[@NewPlastic]

Yezzit, Redshift one coming probably after the Octane ones

[@jkartz92]

with respect to image texture node, if we're using ACES1.2 what should be set, "ACES cg" or Linear sRGB will do fine?

[@NewPlastic]

If the images that you're loading are originally set to ACEScg, then try and change them. But usually I would leave them at Linear sRGB as that's most likely the space of your images.

[@jkartz92]

so it's default LinearsRGB @@NewPlastic

[@umpfdesign9468]

Can you explain how to use multiple UV sets? I've got two UV tags on my object and I'm trying to cycle through the UV sets but nothing happens?

[@NewPlastic]

Yeah it can get tricky but it's pretty straight forward. Maybe I'll make a video about it.

[@umpfdesign9468]

@@NewPlastic that would be awesome. I didn't think C4D was even supposed to support multiple UVs but this guy is using it here in redshift somehow - /watch?v=OXEF-yVYg5Q&t=182s

Aye me too man, me too

[@PatchCornAdams723]

I just got Octane, and I love it but I am disappointed at how little free info there is on Octane materials. It all seems to be behind a paywall. I haven't watched this yet but I am already getting a good feeling about it.

Yeah Octane is notorious for very lackluster official documentation.
