Octane Standalone generates beautiful Panoramas in a simple, user-friendly way.



My issue arises when I try to render a Cinema4D scene as an Octane Panorama.

Attempting a panorama.

Switching between Thin Lens and Panorama does not appear to make any changes to how the camera operates in the plugin. Where does my problem lie? Is it a setting in OctaneRender that I am missing, a problem with my Cinema4D camera or render settings, or is a software error?

Here are the basic camera settings that I am using.



I will buy Octane as soon as this problem is resolved.

can you plase change the title? it's not a problem. we use camera tag. this and others are documented in manual

Edit: Okay that's good to know. Is there any way to render a 360 panorama in tag? Or will I have to export to the standalone?

Thank you for your help, and for your work making this fantastic tool. I have read the Cinema4D Octane plugin manual section on the Octane Camera,
http://render.otoy.com/manuals/Cinema4D/?page_id=1944
and it explains how easily the user can switch between the Thin Lens and Panoramic cameras. When I switch between the two in the Octane camera tag and adjust the fov settings in the Panorama section I see no immediate impact on the rendered image.

I am using R.15 with the current Demo version of Octane Render.

fov is only parameter which is not functional in tag. it will be deprecated. you can set fov from camera

Thank you again Ahmet,


So are you saying that Tag just will not generate Panoramas? I have looked into all of the Octane guides that I can find, and I still cannot find a way to render panoramas in tag. Please any help would be appreciated and like I said- this would be the main reason I purchase Octane & the C4D plugin.

Check please the octane cameratag. It's here

So cool! I'll check it out tonight, see what I can do and post any results/questions that I have later on.

Hi Daniel,
did you get it to work?
I'm still struggling to render a spherical Panorama with Octane in Cinema.
I activated the checkbox in the Octane Camera Tag of the Demo, but with no visible result in the Render Viewer.
What am i doing wrong?

I want to use Octane with C4D strictly for 360 panoramas and I also run into the problem mentioned above, but unfortunately all posts that mention this don't come up with a solution.

I'm using the Octane Camera Tag but when I set it to Panoramic, I don't get a panoramic render, no matter which settings I change. Stereo works fine, but I'm after Panoramic Stereo.

I want to get the result in the screenshot above, which is made from a Windows version, so maybe it's a Mac bug? Or is it a bug in the demo and does it work in the full version?

I'm using

Octane Render Demo 2.17
Octane Live Viewer Demo 2.32.2 RC4
C4D R16.050
MAC OSX 10.10.3
Macbook Pro Retina (CUDA capable)
