I'm extremely new to Octane. I'm working on Windows with c4d r20 demo and the Octane demo. I knew something was up when the Octane dropdown menu in c4d was missing its icons - but the Octane dialogue boxes do open, there's just not a proper icon. I'm able to get the Octane Live Viewer going, I can see my renders updating, but when I make a camera object or HDRI Environment object, the Octane tags are missing in the c4d Objects Panel. The tutorial I was following showed a black box with a bright red camera icon, instead I have a question mark and none of the options that should be attached to the tag.
I did re-install the Octane demo, but the situation stands.
Thanks so much for any help you can lend, I'm trying to decide if I want to buy cinema4d + octane subscription.
