I'm motion tracking some footage, and the motion tracker can create a background object with the video as a texture so it shows up in the camera view. How do I get this same result using Octane? I need to be able to see the original video footage place so I can line up my CG stuff and make sure shadows are casting correctly, etc.

Just applying the video texture to an Octane texture onto the C4D background object doesn't work. It doesn't show up in the Live Viewer.
