Check to see if your NVIDIA driver is updated. Check to see if Cinema4D is the latest version, click Help > Check for Updates in the C4D menu. You can see Octane in the menu but you can't click it. Check your c4doctane folder to confirm you've deleted the RXX files that do not match the Cinema4D version you are using. If you launch Cinema4D and the startup is stuck on "Initializing". Now you should have successfully installed the OctaneRender for Cinema 4D plugin. Once you have entered your credentials, you should see an Octane tab at the top of your application. You will be prompted to enter your OTOY account credentials. Step 4) Launch the Cinema 4D application. The folder is case-sensitive so you may encounter issues if the plugins folder isn't all lower-case. Important note: The "plugins" folder should be lower-case. You will need to create this folder in the Cinema 4D R2023 folder: C:\Program Files > MAXON Cinema4D 2023 > plugins (you need to create this folder!) > c4doctane Step 3) Maxon Cinema 4D does not include a plugins folder. You should not delete the other files (res, Lib300) For example, if you are using R2023, you would delete the c4dOctane files that are not c4dOctane-R2023.xdl64. In order to avoid any loading issues, delete all of the c4dOctane-R(version number).cdl64files that you will not be using. Step 2) The c4dOctane folder will come with several versions of the plugin in it. We recommend using 7-zip as some utilities sometimes run into issues. Add the content to the plugins folder in Cinema 4D file system. Step 1) Download the OctaneRender plugin from the Downloads page of your OTOY account and extract the content of the archive. The following steps use a different method from the video linked above.
