My first step before I start setting the scene is to adjust the render priority setting I usually set it to 'low.' Although this lengthens rendering time, it reduces load on the graphics card making it easier to work with other applications (for reference I have a Geforce GTX Titan X with 12 GB of memory in my workstation.) At the bottom of the rendering window is the render view toolbar. I mainly use a layout with the Scene window occupying the largest area, because I use it most frequently.

We can undock and customize the windows according to our own preferences. Octane windows are grouped in four basic parts: 1.) Render window 2.) Scene widow 3.) Node inspector, where we can change a node's parameters 4.) Scene outliner, where we can find and use materials from local libraries or use LiveDB.

Version three of OctaneRender has been upgraded with really useful new tools for customizing the interface. All textures were baked in ZBrush and exported in PSD format, mainly texture diffuse and displacement map. I exported the individual parts of the mesh using OBJ format. At a few points in the tutorial I will try to approximate the technique of modeling lighting using HDRI maps, and I'll share the render settings for my model 'H.A.S.H.' To illustrate, I used one of my head models that I sculpted in ZBrush. Octane mainly draws energy from the graphics card GPU memory, usefully taking load off your CPU. OctaneRender is a really powerful tool for artists who value photorealistic effects and fast rendering.
