Hey, I decided to test out octane and everything seems to be working great until I try to render out a scene in picture viewer it gets stuck on "preparing" and never actually starts rendering.
Gtx 1070, win 10.

I attach the screenshots of log and render screen.

Hi,
please posta a screenshot of the complete console log.
Are you using c4d materials and/or c4d shaders?
If yes, please try with Octane materials and shaders only.

Hi,
the installed version is wrong, it displays both v2018, and v4 in console log.
Please remove the installed version, and replace it with the following one:

Have a look at the following video tutorial on how to correctly install the plugin:

Please, download and install also the Standalone application (not the zipped version), since it changes some Windows registry optimized for GPU rendering.

I thought that at least I knew how to install the software properly... Works like a charm! Thank you so much, I guess I can get the full version now since I know everything runs fine. One question though, where can I find the version you provided as in the website I can only download the "C4D-2018_1_1_R2_win" version?
