The first step toward professional rendering is chosing the right renderer. We’ve been using Octane Renderer® in production for several years now and highly recommend it if you want to lift your rendering game. However there has been a lack of training available for Octane … until now.
This course includes both The Octane Materials Masterclass and The Octane Lighting and Rendering Masterclass. You can also purchase these seperatly. Details here.
Here’s what we cover in the course...

A fantastic course all around.
I've been trying to wrap my head around the material side of things within Octane for sometime now, the variety of nodes, material types, etc... and am so happy I took the plunge and signed up for the course. I now have a much more solid knowledge base within Octane and would recommend this course to anyone.

I learned a lot. Vouch !
