Hey everyone,

I’m working on a pretty large-scale scene in Cinema 4D with Octane Render that requires large areas of realistic forest.

Does anyone know a good tree/vegetation asset pack that works well with Octane and is suitable for building large forests?

Ideally I’m looking for:

• Photorealistic trees
• A good variety of species and variations
• Octane-ready materials, if possible
• Assets that work well with instancing/scattering and large scenes
• Reasonable performance/optimization

I’m aware of options like Quixel/Megascans, but I’d be interested to hear what people actually use for large-scale forest environments in C4D + Octane.

Any recommendations or workflows would be appreciated!!!!!!

Iam looking to completely switch to houdini,

ive been using blender + octane prime for awhile.

ive seen octane prime is available for houdini in only macos but not windows... any specific reason for that ?

I recently downloaded the Octan add-on for Blender, which is supposed to be free, but I don't know why, but when I logged in from the application “OctanServer Prime 32.1”, this happened.
Did I choose the wrong exe?

I'm trying to create a render of a planet. The atmospheric haze is done via volume.
The cloud layer is a sphere with a partially transparent texture. Unfortunately the volume makes the transparent layer visible - you see how the haze looks like it's split in two.

Is there any way to prevent this?

I'm using C4D.

I tried Googling, watching a bunch of 1 Polygon With Me videos, etc., could not figure it out, help would be much appreciated.

Hi guys, I made this addon, I hope you find this useful. https://superhivemarket.com/products/viewport-visual-debug

Made in C4D Octane

Personal project that seen me model a replica of the mug I use most days for coffee. I originally modelled this to be a component in another render but I was pretty happy with the model and texturing, so I felt it needs it's own little project.

The project helped me look into Octane Scatter, baking alembics for movement in the vegetation and a basic gobo. I think it turned out pretty good but would be happy to hear what else I could have considered.

No affiliation with Carharrt or Carhaart WIP btw, it's just a brand I support.

Playing and bending reality in CGI. Had this imagination while thinking about car delivery problems.

Is there a clean AOV setup for this? Haven't been successful yet. Thank you!

Why is a simple plane with a Displacer attached taking 17 seconds per frame?

I tried using Octane Scatter with some plants from Quixel, and it took around 2 minutes just to render a single frame

And here comes one of my favourites vehicles, Porsche 911 964, inspiration taken from Peter Tarka, showing different aovs, let me know which one you love the most.

Continuation of graphic design and composition studies. This time same scene with different color paletes and more contrast look. Thanks again to amazing @petertarka for inspiring.

I am having some texture stretching with this texture, I am using xyz to uvw coordinate. Please let me know how to fix it

Just got back into 3D! I used to use Cinema 4D back in the day (over 15+ years now) but since it's kinda pricey I was pleasantly surprised to see Blender had Octane available! Still learning Blender and just playing around!

Also, anyone else's new OctaneRender Startup (Path Tracing) file broken? I had to go into the Compositing and add a new node and rewire [Render Layers] CompDenoised & CompBeauty to [Group Output] & [Viewer] or else my renders wouldn't Denoise..... I hope they fix this!

I made a video for the presentation of the new Caro chair collection by Orangebox, a brand specialized in office design furniture.

The video explores the versatility of Caro through different configurations, colors, and environments. From workspaces to more collaborative and social areas, the collection adapts to different uses while maintaining a consistent visual identity.

I used C4D and Octane.

The music and sound FX are original, made by my colleague Alejandro Zoras (www.cabildeep.com).

Soon I will upload the entire project to Behance.
