Nvidia we need more Octane for Blender tutorials please!! all of them are very interesting and useful!

[@abdiastenas9820]

Thank you so much for this kind of content! Came just in the right time for me since I was trying to make the transition from Cycles to Octane in Blender. Keep posting this gems!

[@emergencyDuck]

More than three years later still very useful

[@rsldesigns]

This could not have come at a better time mate, giving I'm looking at moving some of our pipeline over to Blender. Thank you so much.

[@linograndi]

You're welcome Richard!

[@ABMultimediaDesigner]

Gimme a buzz if you need anything with the transition

[@Maolo92]

Wow! This is top notch tutorial, pleaase make more!

[@dominiusmaverick1854]

OMG thank you for this. This is amazing

[@Draw1sts]

Great video! I hope you make a whole lot more!

[@nategreyson6014]

amazing tutorials! thank you!

Fantasic, please keep making theese.

Lino Grandi gang where y'all at?! :D

[@massivetree7937]

Thank you Lino!

You're welcome Steve!

[@陈思李]

Can you come up with a detailed tutorial to control the color gradient and direction? Thank you.

[@raw_pc]

Awesome stuff.

[@greattree7979]

very useful info!!! thank you man a lot!!)

[@陈思李]

Hello, can you make a video about how to control the color and position of the gradient glass in blender octane?

[@Urheimat9]

Thanks for this! Is Octane available for the current version of blender or is still tethered to the 2.83 custom build?

[@linograndi]

We've integrated Blender 2.92 since quite a long time now.

[@Urheimat9]

@@linograndi Oh, amazing!

[@Pyramid_Skeem]

@@Urheimat9 2.93 is available now too. 😍

[@Alvinator888]

Hi, this looks much better than in Cycles, but I can't seem to find any render farms for Blender Octane rendering for more serious production than on a single PC. Any suggestions?

[@Mavan0]

Hey, I have a question... are there any plans to adding more options in the gradient node like radial? and I also notice the C4D noises are in blender but they don't seem to work.

[@linograndi]

C4D noises are not suppose to be there, since those are exclusive to the Standalone and Cinema 4D version. About gradients, a Distance node should be available soon.

[@Mavan0]

@@linograndi ok thanks

[@matejivi]

more more mooooooore

[@till.sen_wlc]

More videos like this please!

[@nscent2407]

THANK YOU.

[@3artesestudio14]

Great

[@cr4723]

What graphics card are you using in the video? Seems to be very fast.

[@karenpatterson3227]

Thank you. How to make a glass gradient?

[@shabbirmerchant7678]

Thank you so much

[@abeblue]

Is learning Octane on Blender helps if i one day switch to C4D octane?

[@fatalshooter]

I'd like to give octane a tru. But I feel like it's too much to re-learn :(

[@mostafaabboud5184]

Could you just tell me how could you get so pure, quick and noise free viewport render in octane? I’ve been trying for weeks to get a similar clean view but couldn’t. Maybe you could share your render settings with us?

[@BeheadedKamikaze]

Did you watch through the video? He literally explains it in this video. See 16:50

[@mostafaabboud5184]

@@BeheadedKamikaze This is not what I mean, I know about Octane camera denoiser as well as beauty compositting denoiser, and the problem is that they only work for the f12 render, not the viewport render. But as you can see in the video, he had a quick and clean view even before activating the Octane camera denoiser at 16:50, and I’m dying to know how! Even though I have a powerful rig.

[@BeheadedKamikaze]

@@mostafaabboud5184 in the viewport press n to open the right side panel. In the Octane tab enable Spectral AI Denoising and disable Denoise on completion. Set max. denoiser interval to 5 sec. Then go to the View Layer properties and under Passes, in Preview pass type, select Denoiser beauty. If you also want to be able to save the denoised F12 render, under the Denoiser passes, put a check in Beauty. This will make a render pass called OctDenoiserBeauty available in the compositor.

[@mostafaabboud5184]

@@BeheadedKamikaze Now I got what you’re saying, it worked accuratly. Thanks for the help!

[@klapitall]

can you please do a new video like this one because everything changed in blender 3.1 . the nodes have not the same name any more and a lot of stuff are mixed together

[@brunocastro4558]

Please, what are your system specs?

[@vitto8112]

Hi, I have a question. How can I preview a node like Cycles (node wrangler) with the viewer node but in Octane?

[@linograndi]

That's not possible for now.

[@vitto8112]

@@linograndi Ok thanks Lino

[@spetauskas]

what is octane?

[@hypersonicmonkeybrains3418]

Seems to me Blender Cycles Principled node is much easier than looking up complex tables of numbers from a chart every time i want a specific metal. And on that note, where is Octanes asset/material library. Because Blender 3.0 cycles x now has the asset library which enables a much faster workflow than creating each new material from scratch each time. Octane needs to play catchup if its to stay relevant or migrate to Blender 3.0 ... It's not even faster than Cycles X.

[@QuesoGr7]

Don't mind me. Just being salty that I don't have an RTX card and can't get one for a decent price in order to use this render engine...

[@cr4723]

I use a small old GTX 750 Ti and it works fine.

[@red4666]

Why not just use cycles?

[@Riggedindian]

are they paying for positive comments or what?
