I am new user in Octane. I saw a tutorial about turbulencefd from here. https://vimeo.com/156676742

In this tutorial (10:09) they show a option in Settings > kernels > Pathtracing > Volume step length . But in my C4d Octane settings Volume step length option is missing

I am using OctaneVR for Cinema 4d 3.06.2 in windows 10.

Whats wrong with me Please help me.

Hi chinmay3d,
probably the video has been made with a beta version of v3. The Step length value has been moved to the scattering node after few versions, in this way it is relative to the volume applied, and not to all volumes in the scene at once.
Note that with overlapping volumes, you have to use the exact same Step length value.

Well I got Scattering Node in Node Editor. But I don't know how to connect it with Turbulencefd. Can you please give me any tips or link how to use it.

Hi Chinmay,
you need to add an Octane Object tag, and set the Volume medium in the Particles tab.
Please look at v3 example scenes:

There are some useful TFD example scenes.
And here is the documentation about VDB volume medium node:
