Minor correction to the lighting section of the video as kindly pointed out by viewers, when using HDRI's be sure to set the "Legacy Gamma" value to 1, as opposed to 2.2.
That will save you having crazy blown out images 😁
broooo why u stopped uploading :/ thats very good content, ecactly what i wane learn next...
I wonder why you did stop it. This tutorial is brilliant. Really. Thank you very much. I wish you would carry on.
This was great, super clear and I loved the pacing and delivery. Excited for the next entry 🤓💫
31:16 I actually screamed.
31:43 I screamed louder.
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all this. I started using blender 4 years ago and after 2 years I already felt like I knew the shader editor like the palm of my hand, which is the only reason why I didn't want to switch to Octane. Despite it looking so freaking cool just having all my nodes switched and renamed seemed unnecessary. Now I get it, they're fundamentally more complex.
Definitely gonna be checking some of your videos dude, thank you so much!
Your explaination is super clear and simple. Looking forward to more video
Great work! Really appreciate the Octane / Blender vids, keep it up! :)
The metallic material in octane are so next level and easy to use, that's insane!!!
texturing in octane is amazing. Gonna be about a dozen tutorials I can make about it immediately after this series is over 😂
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! This is a very niche combo on youtube and having this kind of high-quality content is just gold, great job and thank you!
Super cool tut! Please continue!
vertex displacement, c4d noise, setting up the default scene, octane lights and everything else is so on point. NO BULLSHIT JUST GOLD all the way through. mind blowing insights and a genius script. please continue making the rest of the chapters.
Hi there! Thank you for your tutorial. I'm currently learning about the nodes and material representation in Blender Octane. This video has been incredibly helpful for me, and I look forward to more tutorials on Blender Octane in the future.😍😍😍
Great Kickstart !!! Thanks for making this series.
Glad you’re enjoying my friend!
Bro u are a hidden gem. Please keep going! This is almost the only channel where my notification bell is on. Much love, wish u all the best❤🔥
Hey man, thanks for the amazing content, really helpful as octane is less explored in context of blender-octane videos, really good quality
Amazing tutorial brotha! 🔥 Can’t thank you enough 🙏🏽
thanks man this video really help me, hope you could keep with the series! thanks again
Definitely need more tutorials on octane, I wanted to use it badly but shaders are so frustrating for me because I used cycles so long and I can create so complex materials with my eyes closed, but when it comes to new engine it’s always a pain, your videos about octane are not just basic stuff that no one gonna use in real projects, so it’s really helps when things shown on real projects like the one with product render, definitely helps a lot for understanding some nodes
dude i can't thank you enough keep pushing this fire content 💯
Means a lot, thank you!
Great video!
Very relevant and helpful! Thank you!
Glad you found this helpful!
MUITO OBRIGADO, COMECEI A ESTUDAR OCTANE NO BLENDER AGORA E ME DEPAREI COM ESSE VÍDEO, ELE ME AJUDOU BASTANTE.
Why aren’t more blender artist on TH-cam talking about Octane engine in blender, seems like a big step forward unless I’m wrong
It definitely is. There’s actually 3 creators (including myself) making this exact series right now. I think it’s catching a lot of traction.
@@jbrashfxThat's awesome to hear, I found this a really good introduction if not the best on yt, can't wait for future videos on this!
@@jbrashfx who are the other creators btw?
Oh man, how pleased I am that you're making these super useful walkthroughs!!! until now there aren't videos covering everything simplified. Jon Hidalgo is great for archviz but he has a particular style and also because he's Brazilian somethings are difficult to convey for him. I watched all your c4d vids but I really want to stop relying on cinema. So thank you for your time, effort and sharing knowledge. I hope you make more great content!
Super glad it’s helpful to you!
17:27 you actually do have F stop section in Cycles as well, it's under DOF and under Aperture.
25:47, it's true the noise options in Cycles are kinda limited compared to Octane and Redshift but actually adding more noises in literally the most requested feature in Blender on Right click select, so hopefully in future they'll add those other types of noise patterns in Cycles as well. But funnily you can find more noise types under the displace modifier lol
Vertex displacement in Octane looks very dope. In Cycles, adaptive displacement is something I use and it's really really good. Instead of subdividing something a million times, you just use adaptive sub d and Cycles basically subdivides the object based on how far away it's from the camera gradually. Really cool and saves so much memory and yet gives a better result.
Tbh, now with real-time GPU viewport compositing in Blender, it's easier than ever to use post effects like bloom and glow, lens distortion and CC in the viewport and have everything be work in real-time on GPU while being procedural and node based. But if you want something like this in Cycles, there are many addons for that, Quick compo is one of them.
Octane seems like a great render engine and combining it with Blender is amazing. IMO Octane is really good for those who want photoreal renders out of the box without much tinkering or too many nobs for flexibility. I personally mostly use Cycles because it's fast and it supports both CPU and GPU and it runs on NVidia, AMD and Intel GPUs and it's very well integrated in Blender and it does everything I need it to do but it's not perfect like every other render engines. Cycles can also give you photoreal results as well but you might have to tweak a few things a bit just like any other render engines like Arnold or Vray or Renderman and use maybe ACES or AgX color transform instead of Filmic for that as well as do some compositing. Cycles is used pretty much by 99% of Blender users and can produce high quality renders for animation, movies, VFX (Makuta used Cycles in the movie RRR not only in Blender but also in 3DS max with Cycles port and also RealByFake uses Blender and cycles for movies and TV shows) etc. as well. But if you're already familiar with other render engines and depending on what you're doing, it gives with the result that you want with the familiar fast workflow then absolutely. The more 3rd party render engines Blender support, the better it is for users who are using Blender. The more the merrier. But I'm a bit curious about if you're gonna use cycles in future or not or you've fully switched to Octane.
Чел ты просто гениальный человек!

It's unbelievable to find this for free, I hope that in the future you launch a course for everyone to buy, it will be a huge success! Thanks.
Thank you Paulo! Appreciate the support as always.
Stoked!!
🫶🏼🫶🏼
Thank you so much!!!!!
Thanks brother.
very very very very very very very good
Many many many many many many thanks
Thnam you hope you do more octane blender
Keymapping is a huge upgrade bro. Quality always going up
Appreciate you man!
Thanks for doing these, octane looks really good
Thank you, hope you enjoy watching!
do more tutorials about octane for blender. really helpful thank you
still waiting for the next one
THANK YOU so much for these valuable videos! Can't wait for the next video, when is it coming out?
As soon as possible! Have had a busy few weeks
U R an octane god
Not even close but I thank you! :D
Thank you so much, this is really helpful. I hope the next chapter will cover how to make use of the render passes your exported. For the area light, would you happen to know how to adjust the spread like in Cycles ? Again, thank you !
Yes I’ll cover this in the lighting video when building the full scene! Hoping to get all of the rest of the videos out across this week.
@@jbrashfx ah yes please cover the gradient lighting too
hey man loved your videos
when is the next video coming ?
Anisotropic is a metal property. It shows rotation of a brush effect
It's a directional effect on the reflection, it's direction is controlled by the uv directions
Please do more Octane Blender tutorials or info video since i really would like to get to make my future Projects in octane but dont know where to get more knowledge for it
very cool, thank you. can't wait to see more 😉
I have a question about the difference between BSDF Octane and GGX? Maybe talk about it in a future video.
I’ll talk about this in the texturing video (:
@@jbrashfx Oh great , thanks 👍👍
Great job, my friend! When is your next video coming out? Also, is there a good way to convert materials from CYCLES or EEVEE? It's scary to redo the materials. And LIVEDB isn't working, it's freezing directly. What's wrong there? It's frustrating
A great tutorial! Somehow when i set up the c4d noise node with 3D transformation it wont work with bump nor with displacement. Anyone had that issue?
@JBRASH
Hey thanks for your video
i followed all your steps and iam still having trouble to get a sharp image out of octane.
iam trying to render an image with 2500x2500 px with 2000 samples and it looks still very grainy and after the denoiser smushes the whole image and give me artifacts that look like compression.
the image in the viewport looks way better
do you have an idea what the problrm could be ?
thanks. i just downloaded blender octane and server, at the end of running the app it showed that the server license expires in one month, so will i be able to renew it for free?
You are a legend bro, thank you so much for giving this content for free.
i have a question: Are the octane engine settings, node names, etc. common to all software like Cinema 4D, meaning that if I want to use Cinema 4D, I can use octane in the same way and with the same nodes and settings ?
For the most part they are the same yes! It’s the best
is there anyway to change nodes blending mode? can't find it... like multiply etc.. thx
Brother give more tutorials on product modelling advance plus how to make environment for games
hey it was amazing, but why when i render dont get me high quality render, i just have problem with that , till now i just download ready scenes cuz of that
Great tutorial 💪, I did exactly what you did but the HDRI doesn't work for me. Do you know why?
In environmental textures, if you single click on the color space of texture nodes, you will find something different
I currently really like octane, but there is one problem when I render an image with alpha, the edges look rough and noisy, do you know how to fix it?
Just a doubt... Do I need to have a "camera" in the scene to use Octane? How are you able to utilize the viewport without first adding one? Hope seeing more videos from you! Nice one!
@JBRASHR Is there a solve for the No Net GPUs?
Hey, i am just moving from Keyshot + Vray to a new software. I want to do motion reels, product shots and abstract stuff do you recommend stock blender, blender+redshift or+octane?
Or Cinema4d + Redshift for that?
Best, Julian
Blender + octane is pretty amazing.
Have a look at geometry nodes tuts for motion
My render never go to my folder, and i have to use compositor to make denoising happen .. any clue?
When i import octane liveDB material, node tree comes without textures do you know a solution😢
Have you used the plug-in version? How to use octane scatter? My version is OctaneBlender Addon 28.3 Beta
Hey man havent even watch all of it but already happy with thuius tutorial. Im not new to octane but never found a good base so this is helpfull. The only thing i notice is that you didnt put your RGB image for the HDRI at a gamma of 1. Blender needs this to handle the colors and values properly. You dont have to do this with textures ui believe. But Your HDRI doesnt blow out when you put it to Legacy Gamma 1.00
Good catch 😅 I did forget that during filming it seems. I’ll correct in the lighting episode! Thank you Martin.
Camera Visibility option is missing in Blender Octane right now, is there a solution ?
why u switch for c4d to blender?
Is there no way to increase the strength of a lamp? I am making a custom light setup which doesn't use an HDRI, but the lights are so weak that I can't create a real-life setup. This means that I can't move the light several meters back from where it is meant to be in the room. If I do move it back to it's proper location, the light emitted is so god damn weak that the scene becomes near pitch black
Just a question how is that your blender showing more than the default in terms of icon size and scene or are you using a 4k monitor?
I do use a 4k monitor. Is it hard to see?
@@jbrashfx No its not hard to see i was just surprised on how you managed to split so many windows in one go!
Tje deniiser in the virwport doesnt seem to work even. Because when you use a denouse pass and r nder it, the default pass returns a beauty noisy image and not a denoised beauty image. In the xompositor you need to take the denoise pass to get the denoised image. I think its implementation in the virwport is wrong. All vidoes i have seen about all stated it doesnt seem to ve actually returninf a denoised image
it's the same in c4d ( octane ) ?
Almost yes!
Tried following along, but I don't have any settings under Octane Kernel and therefore no way to control the samples. Tried on two different PCs with and without Blender already installed (from Steam).
Anyone know how to fix this?
The fix for me was to open a new file by going to File > New > Octane Default Startup. It then loads the kernels. Hope this helps.
It did. Thank you very much! @@GraehamM
Files are unable to download🥲
Where is part 3?
i think the world setup should be just : power of texture environment : 1 and the HDRI texture gamma to 1 the light will adjust correctly on the scene
Yea someone caught the legacy gamma error haha, will be fixed in lighting video :)
chapter 3?
Wowser they implemented octane in a very confusing method with some panel not being active but settings still work. For instance, that focus point, even though it's in that inactive panel it can still set items. That's really bad UX design. I also don't understand why they don't use a pinhole or none focus portal nt by default. Same as that user needs to do a tons of work before getting started. Really wonder why they made a custom build, but not took the time to really setup defaults properly
how to solve the problem with NO NET GPU who know?
thanks can u help me diamond rendering
plz
For Diamond renders user photon kernel type. And turn “allow caustics” on material shader.
Please do more videos about octane for blender 🙏🙏🙏😭 I just jumped from cycles to octane and I don't see tutorials about it in TH-cam, I'm alone 🥲
