Fingers glowing and noses glowing as if these were made of air on the inside. To my tastes most of the Iray renders I see show an SSS that shines directly through the skin. The skin can have all the pores and wrinkles and other imperfections in place but if the nose glows too much then my belief will not be suspended. If a surface glows then to me it will almost always appear as if it is out of thermodynamic equilibrium and therefore probably NOT comfortable to touch with my bare hands. To me, a surface is only realistic if I feel as if I could literally reach into the screen and touch these surfaces with my bare hands.
Much of this comes down to how we define realism. I dont have any side by side comparisons at the moment because i am at work, but what you will see from both engines will certainly be comparable, its just the effort and experience required to get that result that is vastly different.įunny, I was thinking the exact opposite in terms of realistic skin shading. Octane is certainly capable of doing it, but to achieve it generally requires a very complicated material setup with multiple nested material mixes and your node editor looks like a big jumbled mess of connections. In particular, getting the layered/translucent effect of skin is probably the hardest part. However, mainly due to the shader/material structure in Octane, getting good/realistic results for skin can be much more difficult than it is in iRay and other renderers. IMO Octane is overall a much better engine than iRay. My system is still down as I am doing a full rebuild with some additional updating after the HDD crash. Particularly interested in seeing teh differences in how skin and hair are handled. On another note, am hoping to see more side by side render comparisons (along with process benchmarks) between Iray and Octane in Daz 3D. 20$ a month to get our of core rendering is a big incentive as suddenly even with a 4 GB GPU the process doesn't dump entirely to the CPU as it does with Iray once all the VRAM is filled. well again for people like myself the subscription track is a welcome addition particularly given what Octane is capable of.
