Cinema4D version 2020.1.2 (Obsolete)11.06.2020 Tweet

[aoktar]

Hi all,
This is the Cinema 4D plugin with latest production ready version 2020.1.2 SDK. Any feedbacks are welcome for development and fixing the issues. Enjoy it!

This is the matching Standalone: OctaneRender™ 2020.1.2.

Make sure to use a NVIDIA Studio driver with version at least 435.80 for Windows or 435.12 for Linux to enable support for RTX hardware acceleration. There are no OSX drivers that currently support RTX.


IN ANY CRASH CASE PLEASE DO THESE!!!
If you see CUDA errors follow 1,2,3,4.
1- Use NVIDIA STUDIO drivers, not Game Ready versions. If you have stability issues try different drivers, some of them could cause instability issues. Do a clean install while doing this to be sure previous files completely removed.
2- Check GPU frequency. Overclocking would cause instability issues
3- Check PSU. Insufficient power output would cause instability issues
4- Check the free amount of GPU's VRAM and system's RAM while working. Low VRAM will/may cause CUDA errors. Be aware of some generator objects will have different triangle count in Picture Viewer than Live Viewer. It’s like “editor/render” parameter. Just try to use the same value. Also try to optimize your scene for polygon count, even use smaller images. Try to use Octane texture nodes rather than using C4D texture/shaders.
Alternatively, use V4 and Out-of-core(OOC) function. Increase RAM for OOC and It should not exceed physical RAM amount. Check TDR value and increase if it's necessary.
5- If you see C4D crashes without CUDA errors, then send us bugreport.zip, screen-shots and video capture to show process and crash moment. Also please send us a sample scene in a format of C4D or ORBX to let us investigate and test it. Alternatively, try to delete/hide some objects/materials until crash gone away. If you find what's causing crashes, send us a sample scene to let us for investigating and bring a fix or solution.
Thanks for helping the development by your feedbacks! It’s impossible to quickly catch every case without user feedbacks! It’s the same procedure as other companies do like Maxon/etc...


Changes of 2020.1.2 plugin
- Fix: Compare mode for 8bit-tonemapped buffers
- Fix: missing displacement in composite material from livedb
- Internal changes for universal camera and volume spot light

Requirements:
-You'll need to update your Cinema 4D to latest versions(R16.050, R17.053, R18.057, R19.053, R20.057, R21.115). Otherwise, the plugin will not work and not appear in menus.
-Internet connection for activation, be sure that C4D and Octane will not be blocked by the firewall and any antivirus software.
-Nvidia drivers at least Nvidia Studio Drivers(minimum 435.80) and be careful with latest Game Ready drivers which can cause cuda errors. Stay with stable one for you.
-Cuda 9.1 driver for OSX.

Installation
First, remove all octane related stuff from plugins and the main folder of Cinema4D.

Extract all files to Cinema4D\plugins\c4dOctane directory.
Also, download manual.zip and extract to c4dOctane directory if it's not available in place.

There are a few files for each one is for different Cinema4D version. Remove all except the file is for your version.
Ex. if you have Cinema4D R18.0, keep only "c4dOctane-r18.cdl64" and delete c4dOctane-r17.cdl64, c4dOctane-r16.cdl64, c4dOctane-r15.cdl64, etc..

Really fast!
Thank you, Aoktar.

One question: Has the Film offset inside C4D camera stopped working? I am using "Universal camera type" and I see now the offset no longer responds to the live viewer.
At the first samples, thecamera shift reflects correctly, after a second the camera offset is override to 0 in the live viewer. I wish the "Univeral camera type" had tilt/shift capabilities included.

EDIT: The "Thinlens camera type" responds correctly to C4D Film offset"

Yes correct I missed that because I've refactored the universal camera part.

thanks a lot Aoktar for your incredible work
Now I'm still on V4, what you say it's time to move on this v2020 ?
Just worried about stability
thanks

Is this latest version no longer going to work on my OSX High Sierra?
My 2010 Mac Pro is stuck at OSX 10.13.6, and the Nvidia driver is 387.10.10.10.40.130. Any system updates make my Nvidia cards unusable.
Octane has worked for me up until now. I can't get the 2020.1.2 standalone to open, and C4D won't open with the plugin installed.
Have I hit the wall?

It's stable enough for me, but only problem with previews when you have texture compressions. Of course, it depends to hardware/driver combinations.

I can use it with High Sierra and the latest available drivers.

Is that on a newer machine? MacBook? Newer Nvidia driver? My hardware (2010 mac pro tower) has me stuck not only on operating system, but on the nvidia drivers, so it's not just High Sierra. If you have it working on similar hardware, then I must have some other issue.

Thanks Ahmet. What is this problem that u describe? When we set texture to "float" for example?
Cheers
