Volumetric Fog Tutorial for Octane 3.0 3DS Max Plugin

Tutorial Showing How to Create and Render Volumetric Fog using the Octane 3.0 Plugin for 3DS Max, GPU Render Engine ~ Demonstrating it using the City Environment from my Children’s animated TV series, The Adventures of Nkoza and Nankya ~ http://www.nkozaandnankya.com ~ Check out our Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/ASeedForNkozaAndNankyaTVSeries

Volumetric rendering: OctaneRender 3 supports the ability to render particulate matter such as clouds, smoke, fog, and fire with varying densities and introduces a unique native primitive type for incredibly detailed micro-surface displacement volumes and surfaces required to render photorealistic natural and organic materials. Dreamworks’ OpenVDB is also supported for direct in-camera rendering of particle simulations.

Character Design ~ Wakayima

Wakayima in his Old Age, ancient Ugandan folk tale, oral tradition – I was imagining an older version of wakayima, a throw back to our very own “Once upon a time….” ~ I grew up listening to the folk tale of Wakayima and Wango, I keep replaying those stories in my mind and image what the characters would look like in their old age.

The shape of the character was inspired by a photo of a ripe banana I took one morning while having breakfast with my 2 kids. Below are the drawing and painting stages.
