Hi Beppe,

I've downloaded the plugin from the link and copied the files into the C4D R23 Plugins folder. I'm on Big Sur. However, when I load C4D R23, I get a message saying "c4doctane-r21.xlib" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software". It also does this for the r22 ...

Hi guys,
the c4doctaneX PR5 for Big Sur has a typo in the name, and it is called “Regular”, but it is a Studio subscription instead.
So, it has been mistakenly loaded in the Enterprise section, instead of the Studio section of ther Downloads server.

The version should work with both Enterprise and ...

Is there any progress on a C4D plugin version please? I have no idea how to use the standalone version!

Ah thanks. I did wonder whether this was an octane X problem. Ok I’ll open a ticket.
Cheers,
Kaleel

Thanks again for replying. Ok, I had a look at the image at the end of your last post and I can’t match that with the modified scene unfortunately. Mine has no shadow that I can see.

I’ve done all the things you suggested and managed to get a subtle shadow, but whatever I do, I can’t make it any ...

Thanks Jayroth2020 so much for taking the time with that.

I've downloaded it and, while the compositing now works, I still don't get any shadows unfortunately.

Maybe it's something to do with the way I have things set up in the Octane render settings, or the normal render settings? I've read ...

Hi,

I have a test scene I've use to test composited objects and shadows of those objects onto a background. It works with the standard renderer, but not with Octane.

I used a background object to load an image of the street as a texture, then put a figure in and a plane. I copied the background ...

Thanks, That’s very useful. It’s good to see it successfully using both the internal and external GPUs. I wonder what a Radeon 7 or higher would do.
