I had to delete the standalone, the plugin, and the preferences. Now it seems to work. So weird, just started suddenly.

Hi everyone,

I am running C4D 18, Windows 10 with 4XGTX1080 cards, and the latest version of octane, and today C4D keeps crashing as soon as I open the render viewer.

Any thoughts why? Even a reinstall of the plugin won't work

Hi guys,

I've read a few post about the variation shader in OR and having some issues. I am connecting a random color to a gradient note and this again into a diffuse channel. The checkered color map looks good but the mograph materials won't display the random colors within the instances. I only ...

Yes I second that feature. We are having major issues between Maya and C4D pipeline in the office. Still trying to figure out how we can transfer materials and objects from various platforms. It seems easy to export but not to import.

Hi guys, Any tips how to work cross platform. I am a C4D user and two other co-workers prefer Maya, can we export OBJs somehow that we can share a scene with the same shaders? If so how?

I am seeing benchmarks from other GPU renders with 4 non SLI 1080 cards and it's fast.

I am still new to it as well. Is it correct that one doest;t have to SLI their cards in order to get maximum performance? For instance: would 4 GTX 1080, 4x980, or 4xTitanX would work better without SLI than to SLI them?

Hi, as long time mac user I am switching over to PC and obviously there is tons of stuff thats to learn. So far I've been able to get up to speed with everything but the graphic cards. I know the 1080X is just released, not supported from the developer, but they are working on it as I've read here ...
