Welcome to Octane

- [Instructor] Hi, my name's Andy Needham and welcome to this course on learning the essentials of Octane for Cinema 4D. I'll start by discussing what Octane Render is and what you could do with this versatile third party renderer. Before we dive deeper into Octane for Cinema 4D, we go over a quick start guide, so you're set up for success. I'll show you how to use the live viewer. And we'll create a layout that we can use in Cinema 4D when working with Octane. Then, we'll dive deeper into working with materials including the new blend and metallic materials introduced in Octane 3.08. We'll explore Octane's lighting system and the thin lens camera where we can create effects such as depth of field and motion blur. And I cover how to use post effects. Octane for Cinema 4D has additional features which we will also dive into. Like Octane Scatter and the ability to create volumetric effects such as fog. And the new tune materials and lights. Finally, I discuss Octane's render settings, including how to optimize them, and how to use Octane's multi parts workflow. My goal by the end of this course, is that you will have a firm foundation of how to use Octane Cinema 4D. So if you're ready let's get started.
