Art Direct Yours Lights in Octane Faster - Light Mixer Tutorial

- Опубликовано: 19 сен 2024
- Hello, bit of a different video for me, today i'll show you how to use the Light Mixer in Octane.
This allow you to control and change the lights in your scene without refreshing the renderer, saving a huge bunch of time and allow you to art direct your shots more easily.
I stumbled across this, and think it's super useful for those of you who do product renders/dailies, and want to test a bunch of different lighting options quickly.
It utilises the powerful AOV feature in Octane which can be a lot to deal with for a beginner. It''s a great place to start, and begin to understand how much control you can have in post by using these features.
As mentioned in the video, if you want to colour your lights, before you render just make sure that those lights are set to "Texture" and not "Blackbody" - as the the temperature slider will fight with the colours you selected causing some pretty unpredictable results.
If you have any questions, just drop them in the comments below.
very helpful, love this feature
SUCH A GREAT TUTORIAL! THANKS SO MUCH!
You're very welcome!
Wow! This is great! Thanks for making this quick tutorial!😊
Your most welcome my friend! I had no idea until I stumbled upon it either! 😂 I have another video on ACES tonemapping coming out on Monday, its not quick like this one but sheds a whole lot of light on the topic, stay tuned!
yes! very useful! thank you very much!
Glad it was helpful! Let me know if there’s any other tutorials you’d like to see!
thanx! how you export that as an animation?
In regards to animation renders. I would like to render this without having to write multipass. For example to render this "Out1" as a MP4 would be optimal... has anyone discovered a way to do that?
This is a game changer thank you for sharing! So would this also work for animated exr sequences in after effects you think?
Hey! Glad you found this useful and hope it really helps your workflow! And interesting question, I think because we are setting up AOV's, you should be able to export each of the passes as their own AOV for an animated sequence (along with you beauty passes), and then be able to control them as you would as passes in After Effects. I can imagine this would allow much great control over lighting (than having to animate them in Octane/C4D!) For Instance, if Iw as doing concert visuals and had to match light beats to a music, I think this way would give you much tighter control to match to the beat (but I might be wrong and there might be another easier way to do this). Best bet is to give it a try, I'll try and make same time to test this and we can share results!
@@pro.tharan amazing thanks so much! Going to try this tonight
