Background in Octane? (Cinema 4D Octane)

Hi,
Im trying to get a custom background in Octane behind my 3d objects (in Cinema 4D), but there doesnt seem to be a 'background' option, and octane doesnt see the normal C4D background. I dont want to be the lighting of the object affected by the background, so texture/hdri environment doesnt work.
And because I have some DoF in my scene, it is hard to do it post in Photoshop (the alpha channel gets messed up when adding dof).
Has anyone a trick for that or a solution for my problem?
M.C.

Hi! Enable alpha in kernels and use C4D material with images or some c4d shaders on background object.

Hello,
I had read this solution several times, but it doesn't work for me.
On PT, I activate Alpha Channel, I try to activate or not "Keep environnement", but I still have transparent background in the viewer.
What can I do ?
R20 - Octane 4

Background object with standard material and put any node in to color slot.

OK,
I needed an octane Camera with enable camera Imager.
Thanks

You don't need, but you may need restart the render. or force the updates.

Hi, I have the similar issue... but instead of the still image, I have a video clip to be background (part of composite workflow). All the above settings work for still images but when I change it to animation it went transparent. Can I ask you if you have any solutions in this case?
Thanks!
