Running OctaneRender Studio 4.02.1 (4020100) with R20.057
When i load up a scene, no material previews load up and the scene looks empty,
I need to switch to a Line form of display. like (Quick shading) Lines to see anything
is there a setting so i can see the materials in C4D window?

Renders fine

Running R3, Noticed that Camera and Frontal projection mapping is not working. texture does not show at all.
anyone else having this issue?

with R4 im finding its breaking and switching texture links.. I had to revert back to R3
So i apply one texture and another shows up

Trying out 3.07 Test 6a on R19.024 Windows
when I start cinema and turn on octane, it asks me for my license.
"could not find required license"
only options are retry, sign in as different user and cancel
when I try the sign in as different user. Cinema crashes.

http://www.hdriprobes.com also has some free HDRI's

Check this place out. http://www.hdriprobes.com
they have some free maps with backplates..

I have setup my HDRI scene the way I like it.. but the shadows are too dark. is there a shadow density adjustment somewhere?

Trying to figure out the render layer system while using HDRI environment and catching shadows/reflections

can the shadow pass already have transparency on it.

I really just want it to out put 4 layers. background environment, reflection with transparentcy, shadow with transparency ...

Curious why my Octane final render is much brighter then the octane preview.

I dont want to do this in post..
Want to render it straight
