Octane Layered Material

Layout_DdmqzHpPhN.png

The OctaneRender® Layered Material system allows you to construct a complex material that consists of a Base Material, with a maximum of 8 layers that can be inserted on top of the base layer. We separated and exposed a set of layers ( Diffuse layer, Specular layer, Metallic layer, Sheen layer) that made up the complex materials from previous Octane versions (Diffuse material, Glossy material, Specular material, Metal material, Universal material). Using this set of unique layers, Octane now empowers you to recreate complex materials in a physically based manner as opposed to manually mix materials together.
