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 ☺️

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.

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

@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 🧑‍🎓

Jules Urbach and Raphael Rau

Got to meet Jules Urbach from Otoy again after a long time ✨

Thank you very much. Great to hear!
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 joined the #fediverse and am now on Mastodon:
mastodon.social/@silverwing

And Pixelfed:
pixelfed.social/Silverwing

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 😇

Here's a render I made of the final Watch CAD asset in #c4d and #octane from our current #plasticity video series.

Shading will beging in the next tutorial

I got around modeling the wrist-band (sds) as well as shading the watch model I created in my last two plasticity tutorials.

So you can see how the model can look like shaded (Which we will be probably doing (shading) in the last two sessions) The next will be CAD export.

Loveletter - DIGITAL PRODUCTION Who doesn't know it: the portable games console that saw the light of day at the end of the 1980s and gave us endless hours of fun and games for many years. We are, of course, talking about the Gamebo...

In 2021 I recreated my beloved #GameBoy that I had since my youth in 3D.

It was published in the German #DigitalProduction.

They recently made to move to be an international online magazine. So you are now able to read the article in English for free 🕹️

Thank you very much for your kind words. Super nice to hear that you like it 🥰

Aaaand one last time the RaspberryPi (for now)
This time the marvelous back side in all it's capacity... capacitory goodness... with a lot of capacitors!

Took me quite some time arranging all of those little buggers.
