instances & random colors in octane

got an idea for a set where i want a chorus dancer line. That can be easely acheived with instanciating (same model reused in the scene) - but i dont want them to look like clone -even tho they are. so i'm playing with the random color node in octane.

excuse the low poly figure

Theta, Abacus & Bandini

I know, Aletheia (with a theta) should be spelled Aleteia (with a tau) but i cant let the Theia slip - call it an old pun.

this is a screenshot of Abacus, Al's trusty computer - with all the retro you might want; with a message from Lachesis, recuring character with her 2 sisters.

and finally, meet episode one guest star Bandini

a charming personality.

clutter

my, i hadnt realized how long the process of adding clutter would be. i've always tried to have some details in the scenes i did to flesh out the mood (or jus go bare as with the black collection) - but here, as i'm building Al's office/home, i realize thats its more than mood - its Al's place, it should tell about her.
The bedroom/kitchen corner above still lack personality - and the noir-sci-fi touch, and while i'm filling the room, i'm not posing the actors...
Posting this draft and then later a more complete one so you can play spot the difference !

some time later:

notice the pet bowl ? i think Aletheia will have a cat companion...
