With your chosen model loaded, open the Octane Settings window, and select the materials tab.For best results try and use a model that has a diffuse map that is photo-referenced, and not hand painted – Mei Lin 7, Olympia 7, Michael 7 and Michael 6 are good examples. Note that the available surfaces will be different for earlier generation models, but the same principles will apply – e.g. I recently started working with the Octane plugin for Daz Studio and was wondering if there are any resources like tutorials and guides available I do have the documentation for the plugin and standalone and i have also found like 2 or 3 helpfull videos to get started. I really can't understand why AMD isn't working on a plugin for Daz Studio which is one of the most user friendly 3D software out there. If I am not mistaken both ProRender and Daz are using PBR materials too. But there is still no news for ProRender plugin. Now import a model – I have used Genesis 3 model (Mei Lin 7) in this example but you can use any model you have. 5-6 months ago Octane released their Daz Studio plugin.If you open the render viewport the sphere will be rendered, but will be quite dark and not look very much like skin at the moment. You should find a simple scene with a Sphere primitive.

It might be a funny scene, movie quote, animation, meme or a mashup of multiple sources. Unzip and open the SkinShader.duf file you just downloaded. You can take any video, trim the best part, combine with other videos, add soundtrack.

The left icon is for the Main Octane Settings, the middle opens the render viewport.

Make sure the icon on the right is set to ‘Duf’ (click on it to cycle through the options) – this setting will make sure that all Octane settings and materials from the Duf file are loaded (Manual loads no Octane settings, Auto will try and build materials based on the settings within Daz).

If the plugin is installed correctly, you should have the following icons in your toolbar
