Super useful tip, Raphael! Right on time too! To my shame, I rarely post comments here and say how thankful I am. Not as much as I should! I just want you to know your videos help immensely!! For the last couple of years, I almost daily refer to the Octane manual and your videos. Massively improved my knowledge! While most of the time I try to figure everything out by myself, your videos are an amazing additional help! Thanks a lot, and good health to you!

Incredible. I am obviously excited for the ability to randomize a texture between many objects....but I'm also excited to use the distorted UV mesh when creating large environments, as there is now an easy way to scale up a texture as it gets farther away from the camera, reducing the look of tiling! That, along with the chaos node, will be SO powerful in large scenes

Thank you very much. Yeah in the last couple of releases Octane has really upped their node game. I am also amazed what I sometimes find in there. Cheers and all the best with your landscape scenes!

Oh my god. Raphael, thx so much for this deep dive in to this so important texturing techniques. More than I expected. So much treasures in here. Your tips are so important to the whole Cinema4d and Octane community. Glad that you get alot of positive feedback. I told you that a lot of people are interested in this. Nothing but respect!!! An very well done! Can please someone of the Otoy Team give this guy a medal!? Greets!

That's a really great OSl script. I use it in Blender to randomize my UV rotations. I hope OTOY will add some node that can feed random values into float or vector nodes. But for now this works great. Thanks a lot.

@SilverwingVFX Жыл бұрын

Thank you very much. I hope the same. I wild love a randomize function fiving out randomized float values for different things to be in Octane. Not only Instances: For Example: Objects, non connected geometry within one object, non connected UV islands within one object, polygon faces. Hopefully they can implement that some Day.

Hi Raphael, Thanks for the very detailed presentation! Have you tried this with texture displacement. On my end it seems not working sadly :( The texture itself is nicely shifting randomly but as soon as I plug it in a displacement the random shifts are gone :(

@SilverwingVFX 5 ай бұрын

Hey there. No I have not tried it with displacement. Maybe the result you get is because the process calls for render instances. And they all share the same mesh. And so since Vertex Displacement is mesh dependent, I think all of the objects therefore share the same displacement. There might be a way to get there with non render instanced objects where you get the color from e.g. a Mograph Color and not the random color (that only works with Render Instances. I might try on my own when I have the time! Thank you for letting me know and a great start into this week to you!

@botondben 5 ай бұрын

@@SilverwingVFX Thanks for that! I've tried it, but no luck this time. Maybe thats a displacement limitation or sg like that.

@fernandolardizabal458 2 жыл бұрын

Amazing as always, Raphael! Your OSL scripts work beautifully! IMO, Otoy spends too much time promoting not so useful features on their presentations and leave these gems for people to figure it out how to use. Now... if this randomizer could also work with grouped polygons, or connected mesh groups (not only cloners)... then you would solve a very limited aspect of Octane. Ever used Corona Render UV Randomizer? It allows you to randomize by mesh groups (connected islands if you will), polygons, primitives, etc. If you ever worked on ArchVIZ you know how important these nodes are.

@SilverwingVFX 2 жыл бұрын

Hi there and thank you very much for your comment. I have been requesting that from Otoy for Years. Even before there was a Chaos UV Randomizer. While not built in to Octane, there are workarounds for some of those problems. This is what I spoke about for a possible Tut next week. Randomness for connected Meshes can be achieved via a plugin that creates vertex colors. You can then just read those in with a Vertex Map / Attribute. Also for non instances you can use the object color. There is also a free plugin from the same person that made the other one that gives objects random colors. This then can be read in using an Octane Object Tag with ticked "use display color" in the Object Layer, Object Color section. Then you´d need the object color OSL script to read that into the Octane Shader. Did not find a solution for a per polygon basis also not for a per UV Island basis. But I would consider those more exotic anyways. I will speak to Otoy again and ask for those features so we have them without workarounds. Maybe someone will hear us.

why don't you use the GGX(energy preserving)? Wouldn't that be faster? Topic of next Week? 🙂

@SilverwingVFX 2 жыл бұрын

Energy preserving takes a little longer to render since is a bit more complex. Also there is only a difference between them if you are using really high roughness values. If I use high roughness I am using GGX Energypreserving

Anyway to do this in Redshift?

@SilverwingVFX 10 ай бұрын

Hey there Adam, yes, this is possible. You could do this with a texture offset. There are multiple different ways to get random values. Since Redshift can read in Userdata. I usually generate a "Random" user data per Object to use. This has the benefit of being able to art direct the offset later on if e.g. to objects next to each other are looking to similar. I set a percentage user data a ranging from 0% to 100% per object. Then randomize it by selecting all objects with the Userdata (there is even a script that lets you distribute the Userdata quickly to multiple objects) and randomize it by typing in X+RND(100) to generate random values. Then I link the value to the texture offset in the shader via a userdata node. Talking about it sounds rather complicated. This makes me think if it would be a good idea to do a tut about it 🤔 Last but not least, here´s a very good channel for RS shader stuff: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6fbYYeIeqt5bas

@ArchViz-4D Жыл бұрын

This is great but the easiest way to make such things is to use simple Box Projection with World Space not Object that is limited to Object UV. World Space can extend texture repetitions without limit it to cloned object. Also, to avoid texture seams on edges there is way to use XYZ to UV Projection with rotations like 5-45 degrees - but they are of course not stepped by 90 degrees.

@SilverwingVFX Жыл бұрын

I guess it pretty much comes down to the individual needs. I do a lot of animations so for my needs world space box projections would not work. I would have seams and sliding textures everywhere!

@ArchViz-4D Жыл бұрын

@@SilverwingVFX Yes, there are problems using image texture maps but for procedurals that are unlimited in the terms of repetitions it works fine.
