The earth is a ball that wobbles in place as it spins, which is how we get seasons. These sliders are designed to help you remake the natural outdoor lighting from different parts in the world, during different times of day and even different times of the year. Starting image (above).īuilt into the environmental controls are some powerful sliders.
However, using the options built into Octane I can easily play around with the outdoor lighting setup and find something that better suits the moon I want to make. The lighting is cool, and feels a bit like a spring morning. Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE lighting: and you should too.īelow you can see my starting setup once I import my scene into Octane. In Daz its much more snazzy, but I find setting up and mastering outdoor and indoor lighting in Daz a pain because of the need to at least partially if not fully render the scene to check your lighting. Here we have my scene, which has pretty boring lighting in Octane.
Everything we will do today will be in this tab. Once Octane is loaded, click to the default environment tab. Step 1 – Open up your Octane viewport, and load your scene into Octane. Now, let’s look at setting up outdoor lighting in Octane with a Daz studio scene. If you do not know what Octane is, I have a review and comparison post about Iray verses Octane for Daz3d here: Thankfully the Octane plug-in for Daz Studio has some great easy to use options that make it friendly for even beginners. Most notable is that lighting does not translate well from Iray to Octane.
That said, when using Octane the first thing people will notice is that once they build a scene in Daz, inside Octane it will need some refinement. Iray and 3Delight are the two common most render enginges for Daz3D, however the Octane plug-in is a game changer for that. Octane is a render engine which is known for being fairly fast, up to 10 times faster than Iray.
