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 ☺️

And another tut!
How to bake out your ACES or OCIO looks from C4D Octane... into 8bit or 16bit Images.

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.

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 🧑‍🎓

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 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.

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
April 7, 2025 at 1:56 PM
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.
