Quick heads up. In June, the free community will be closing. Join here https://www.skool.com/blender-octane/about If you’re currently in the free group, you’ll need to move over to the main community to stay connected. Nothing changes for the basics: You’ll still have access to the free Blender Octane 101 guide. But here’s what’s new… We’re shifting to a freemium model. That means: - You can still get started for free - But if you want to go deeper, premium is where everything is Premium includes: - Full courses - Material + asset library - More in-depth breakdowns - Direct help and feedback inside the community The goal is simple: Less split attention, more focused growth, better results for everyone. If you’re serious about improving your work, this is where you want to be. More details coming soon. https://www.skool.com/blender-octane/about

This is my fiancé's render! He absorbed all of the videos I watched next to him and he did this in couple of hours! And he is a programmer, not even a 3d artist 😆 Crazy🤭

This is a model I created for my husband a few years ago, it's a representation of our family as his favourite animal, otters. Lately I have been playing around with learning more about rendering, lighting and materials. I love the way light plays with food and candy so why not combine the two things together 😅 So here we are, a chewey caramel sticky and delicious family of otters 🤤🤣

Hey guys a lot of you guys are asking about material videos to help you out so here's a quick one that I do on how to grunge stuff up using the dirt node Creating Realistic Grungy Edges and Material Layers in 3D Rendering Watch Video Summary This video is a detailed tutorial on creating a grungy, aged edge effect on a 3D cube using material nodes and textures in a rendering software. The instructor demonstrates how to manipulate dirt textures, noise, and material layers to achieve realistic edge wear and metal underlayers, while also discussing the use of projection and bump mapping. Additionally, the video touches on a multi-scene project converted from Cycles to Octane, intended for a paid community resource.
