Description This image even has me doing a double take.

Posed in Daz Studio
Rendered in Octane3D

Took four years, but I finally made a sequel image.

At a quick glance I agree, however a longer look tells me that it's a render.

That's not to say it isn't fantastic though.

have to admit that I am really impressed with the results you are getting out of octane3D, going to have to keep a close eye on them and see if they are going to have carrara support...

PDSmith In reply to Nachtwolfe127 [2011-08-17 07:12:19 +0000 UTC]

they don't have DAZ support. I have to export to an Object file and then manually add the transparancy files, that's why I don't do jungle scenes with Octane. I also have to smooth every single body part. Most images take 2 hours to pose right and then 4 to 5 hours for Octane set up....12 to 15 minutes to render. Please note the link.[link] in the bottom left corner of the image is a time frame... 7:40 7 minutes 40 seconds for that image.

Wow is really incredible ... takes longer to export all that rendering. Octane3d already testing support for DAZ3D, I am looking forward because Octane is far superior to LuxRender. NIce work!!!

wonderful scene..Octane huh...I will have to check that out for sure..has very much a Mental Ray or Vray render status..very nice work..great realism...impressive.

Octane is only capable on CUDA based video cards (Nvida)

Thr33dviz In reply to PDSmith [2011-08-17 09:50:50 +0000 UTC]

That is not a problem.My main GFX rig is equipped with a GeForce GTX 580.So compatibility will not be an issue.Thank you fro the information.

I can tell its not real, but, I have to say, these programs are getting scary close. My hat is off to you. The is fantastic work. I should have you do one of my SecondLife character.

PDSmith In reply to FramedByAmos [2011-08-16 18:29:23 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for the compliment, but as for SecondLife, I don't feel they have high enough polygon counts to make an image viable for decent rendering within my two programs; DAZ Studio and Octane3D. If you happen to have a non-propriatory texture map of your character and able to import it to either the Victoria3 or Victoria4 base figures, I'm quite willing to give it a shot.

FramedByAmos In reply to PDSmith [2011-08-17 02:26:00 +0000 UTC]

Not sure if I even know how. I think the best I could is take a series of pics and send them to you from different angles.

PDSmith In reply to FramedByAmos [2011-08-17 07:06:14 +0000 UTC]

sorry that won't work. Pieceing together a texture map never comes out right.

Your video card need to support CUDA, only Nvideo does at this time.

Yep, the thumbnail made me do a double take - saw who it was from and thought, "Photos? He usually has CGI images!" Nice job!
