Paul plugin (octane render) + archicad = best workflow possible 😉
Congratulations for you effort to bring a very good render plugin.
Thanks!
Second that!
Can't wait for the Brigade to be available!

Pretty amazing animation done by Stefan with OctaneRender for ArchiCAD. Render time around 1min per frame.

Yeah, that's true.
I wonder what was the resolution, kernel and the frame rate.
I assume that it was done in Archicad.

One more question,
Did you render these frames as single bitmaps and then you stitched them in another app or as an Archicad mp4 animation?

Thank you Marky,

All sequences were exported as .mp4 , then puted all together in Adobe Premier.

And Max. samples?
I have some problems with the mp4 animation since despite my rendering resolution the result is very poor in terms of the quality of the final resolution. Stitching single frames gives me more expected outcome.
If you've added also your system data it would be helpful.

The max samples was between 500-800 i think, depending on the sequence.

Thanks, Stefan,

AO in Direct Lighting gives me either bluish or warm, yellow scene color and here it looks very natural, that's why I've asked you about it.
Yeah and that's the power of Octane, entire rendering has taken little more than 2 hours time.
