I am a artist specialized in hyper-real physical based 3D / CGI no AI!
Aaaand an new Octane 2027 has been announced.
Non surprisingly the feature that I am most hyped about is: Diffraction and Wave optics.
I wonder where they did get this idea from 🤔
Otoys Black Fiday deal is live:
home.otoy.com/render/octan...
Als o there is a new version of Octane in town:
render.otoy.com/forum/viewto...
A final release of Octane 2026.1 for C4D 😯
To be honest, it seems a bit rushed. So fingers crossed it is holding up nicely!

Made with #cinema4d
Rendered using #octane 8K SPP
on the #rendernetwork : 2560 x 1440 px Tier 3

It's finally here. The Opal tutorial:

A wild mix of nodes including a lot of custom OSL scripts builds the twisted path to the creation of a black opal.

I had a bit of a problem conveying the idea of deep comp in my thumbnail 😇
Though I hope you like it!

Thanks so much 🥰 I appreciate that you find it mesmerizing 🤗

This was mainly made to explore Octanes "Realistic Camera" emulation.
Lens Imperfections as a style... wait for the closeup!

Blue Dice
So simple yet so detailed ✨
I made this dice for a recent video tutorial about color profile baking out of Octane for C4D and decided to give it the turntable treatment ☺️
#octanerender #c4d #fusionstudio
And another tut!
How to bake out your ACES or OCIO looks from C4D Octane... into 8bit or 16bit Images.

Due to a lot of requests I show what to do if you are not saving out EXRs but just want to save and be done.
#OTOY @octanerenderitalia.bsky.social #octanerender #c4d
Today I released a special tutorial going over color changes in C4D and how they impact Octane color handling.

It's a short one. The "normal" tut will still follow tomorrow!

Hello everyone. My new tutorial is out about Octanes 2026.1 TRACE SETS.
youtu.be/EUrMt2FkEIc
A feature that was asked for since the very beginning of Octane!
I hope you had a great early week and a fantastic time ahead☕✨

@OTOY @MaxonVFX #octanerender #tutorial #3d
Aaaand my #BCON25 #b3d talk is already online!
It was (and is) an amazing experience.
Thank you so much @blender.org OTOY Render-Nnetwork and of course the amazing audience for having me 🥰
Hopefully you can take something away from it 🧑🎓

Oh, I tell you. I did neither. I had not even planned to go because the beginning of the year was disastrous job wise.
But then Otoy and the Render Network invited me and even gave me a talk 😯
Looking forward seeing you 🙏✨
Hey everyone.
Otoy's Render Network invited me to hold a Talk at Blender Conference 2025.
If you love keyboards, raytracing and have sympathy for a blender noob finding his way through the software, then this might be something for you ⌨️✨

Hey hey.
Ja, ich war im Sommerurlaub. Und gerade bereite ich einen Blender Conference Talk vor. Hab dafür extra ein Projekt gemacht. Das hat so viel Zeit in Anspruch genommen, dass ich keine Tuts machen konnte 😢
Ende September geht's aber dann endlich weiter 🙌
This weeks tutorial is online 🎉
Creating condensation droplets with MoGraph and Octane.

As always I hope you enjoy and can use it in your projects!
#c4d #cinema4d #octanerender #tutorial
That's a great suggestion and question!
I have tried and found it to be very difficult and until now have not found a satisfactory way to simulate the depth and therefore the interaction with reflections, light and shadow of the crackles in a realistic way.
Hey everyone. I need a bit of a push from you today 😇
I guess I am in the midst of a summer low. So I need your ideas for a nice and snappy tut video this week ✨
Throw your ideas at me 💡
I was asked by a community member how I would do a beer bottle setup to help him with a scene. So I thought I would create a scene for him and then also share it here.
Win Win if you ask me.
This scene it straight out of the render. No comp.

As far as I understand, sort of. It uses another protocol compared Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube ect. And therefore needs to be bridged.

I am very new to all this. So join me and watch me make mistakes XD
Looks really good though and a big plus is, that you can touch it and play with it. I just can stare at my screen instead 😇
