About This Resource
This C4D file contains ~75 different Octane materials using the Universal Material. These are meant to be starting points to show the basic construction of a large variety of materials so you can understand how they’re created and expand on them to build your own materials.
All of the materials are fully procedural - no linked textures were used.
The materials and the shader ball model have been released under the CC0 license. You’re free (and encouraged) to modify them and use them in commercial and personal work.
This page is also available in 📥 PDF format here.
