Is there a method I do not know of, which would allow me to change the color of the metal itself and what it appears through the diamond (i.e. Tired of rendering with Cycles and Eevee in Blender Give Octane a try This tutorial is an introduction to the Octane plugin for Blender 2.83 and how I use it in a Concept Design workflow. While changing the color of the metal is easy, I am unable to change the color of the metal that is visible through the diamond (again marked in yellow) This way I would save having to render 12 images. Ideally I would like to render out 1 x 4views (so 4 images) and the use blender's compositor to manipulate the color of the metal, to produce the other colors of the metal as needed. The client I am rendering for, requires that I render and provide him 4 views with 3 different colors (white, yellow and rose/pink, for the colors of gold that a piece of jewelry can be made in). If your application can export to one of the supported file formats, you can use Octane Render. begingroup Octane and other third-party render engine have their own material system. the metal under/behind it would be visible. The Octane Render standalone application doesn t require a specific modeling package to function.

I am doing a diamond jewelry render, using Octane's plugin for Blender.
