Octane 4

Hey Folks,

 

For those who celebrated it. I hope you had a good thanksgiving.

I’ve slowly made some progress on CR 1 HD but I’m not completely happy with some of the images.

So are too noisy. (Which means a lot of pixels visible instead of smooth beautifull renders.

Unfortunately personal circumstances prohibted me on working more on this.

 

Luckily yesterday Otoy, the makers of Octane which Epoch and myself use, released version 4 of Octane with a denoiser option, which cuts out almost 50 percent of the noise. Especially in dark  enviroments you can now create images. For those interestent more information here: https://home.otoy.com/octanerender-4/

Also render times have been improved. Need to test more with that before i know for certain, but it looks good.

 

I knew that Epoch did a dark Kendra commission for me a while back. See https://www.epoch-art.com/2017/04/03/kendras-dark-side/

And I also knew the first version of the image didn’t make it, because the noise was too bad.

So it was a good testcase to see what the denoiser did and if it will help.

And huraaah it works :D!

Included in the post a render of the image that was too noisy in the old render.

It’s rather big… but I hope you like it.

Smorgasbord

July Commission SmorgasbordHey everyone, I’m here to drop one last post before the insanity of San Diego Comic Con 2017 begins this week, and what a post it is! Today I give you what can only be described as a ‘commission smorgasbord’. These images were all commissioned by everyone’s favorite site admin Xipomus (He’s not your favorite?! Well why the hell not?!!) and feature a few of the Epoch Art heroines doing stuff… and thangs.

In other news, today and a bit of tomorrow I will working to get the second animation for CR4 set up so it can render over the week I’m away from work while SDCC corrupts my soul. So when I get back to work next week and compile the new animation for the DCV, we’ll be that much closer to release! I appreciate everyone’s patience as we continue to work on getting Clara Ravens Ep. 4 completed, little by little. It WILL be finished this year, guaranteed. That’s all I’m offering in terms of a release date at the moment but I promise that, as soon as the end is in sight, I’ll give a better estimate. Continue reading “Smorgasbord”
