Wait that's crazy timing, I just reinstalled Octane again around 30 minutes ago and am currently getting used to the settings again, nice!

I had completely forgotten about octane for blender since they had not updated it in a long time, since it is now on 3.5 Its a great option over luxcore

Great vid, thank you! I love Cycles but there's no denying the edge these more developed engines have. I'm looking forward to additional videos to help familiarize myself with the new material set-up. I admit the "Universal material" is a lot bulkier looking than Cycles' principled BSDF. It seems there are different IOR values for color channels for metallic materials which confuses me a little, and smooth shading/shadow termination is all handled within the shader itself. I also don't understand how IOR influences either metallic or dielectric materials, given that I've only ever been exposed to it in the context of transmissive materials.

bro thank you for this and your other tutorials

[ninjazombies]

Please make whole octane blender masterclass because I'm struggling to use it, no idea how it works

[nathitappan]

Does it work to bring in models from the asset browser, and append other files that have been modeled in other versions of Blender (particularly 4.1 or 4.2) and then just do lighting / shading in Octane?
And did you notice or run any tests on comparing render speeds? Cycles vs Octane?

Thank you so much for this series, as I was wondering for a long time now how to use octane in blender properly. One question is still living in my mind : how did you find every info you're giving us here alone? I searched for knowledge everywhere but the only thing i found was the octane documentation and it is very intimidating, so I was wondering if you learned stuff elsewhere or not ? Anyway thank you for this !

Hi Thank you for your tutorials! I have one question, everything works except for the part where we have to adjust the camera settings. the "octane camera imager & Octane Post Processing" nothing changes for me??
