What You'll Learn:
In this Octane tutorial, we'll learn the ins and outs of Vectron, first with creating some organic looking animations, then with lighting and texturing various fractal forms. Next, we'll render out a depth pass of the fractals and use that as a displacement map in another scene to create an ink on paper feel, as well as more extruded versions to create an animation that's reminiscent of city structures growing. Finally, we'll alter the code of a Vectron object and create our own fractal, which we'll use in a larger scene with volumetrics for more of a sci-fi look.
If you have any questions about creating 3D fractals using Octane in Cinema 4D, post them in the comments section! If you create anything using this technique, be sure to share it with us!
