Sharing my WRK REEL 2024 with client projects, and personal experiments. It’s been a ride. Not perfect, but it’s progress, and I’m hyped for what’s next.
Happy Healthy New Year!
Trace Sets = compositing level power directly in @OTOY Octane 2026.
Control reflections, refractions, diffuse, and shadows per object.
Finally… an internal solution for clients who want realism, but say “remove those reflections and shadows.”
Guess who's back, back again. Guess who's back, tell your friends:
This week talking about motion vectors in Octane to produce post motion blur in After Effects and Fusion:

Here's a render I made of the final Watch CAD asset in #c4d and #octane from our current #plasticity video series.

Shading will beging in the next tutorial.

You can make PBR materials with ChatGPT.
Drop a photo into GPT-4o and ask it to make the image tileable, then generate albedo, normal, roughness, and displacement maps.
Throw it into your 3D tool of choice, and boom—you've got a PBR shader.
No Substance Painter. No photogrammetry scans. Just a photo you snapped on your phone.
Sure, task-specific models will do better—but the fact that this is already an emergent property? Pretty wild. Definitely worth experimenting with.
Another look at Flow being rendered in Blender and EEVEE. I like to explore the set using a camera and discover ideas. To me this is much easier than using storyboards.
What if I told you After Effects was getting rid of RAM preview?
It's true. Preview your whole sequence directly from disk with Improved Caching For Longer Playback.
Now live in public beta.
This is the scene that lead me to make the latest tut. I started it as a design side project. And I learned so much from it.

I used two telescopes to capture this 650 megapixel HDR composite image of our moon. Shared here in 4k for you to enjoy.
As my gift to you- you can download the full resolution image for free on my website, linked in the reply.
@gumroad from 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka and when I enter my info it says my "branch code is invalid"
my branch code is 70. I tried 70, 070, and 0070 and none of them are working. I'd love to have solution. Usually 070 works for every other virtual payment platform. BTW I already sent and email.
