I find that my Octane does not recognize the Gentleman camera, is there any way to render this camera view in Octane?

You can create a Camera in C4D, and then select the Gentleman Camera in Projection of Object, which is a special kind of Camera that creates a 2.5D view, and I find that there are a lot of cameras that Octane doesn't recognize, rendering a black screen

If there's some other way to implement this view, sorry I don't know how to upload an image in the reply as an example

Make sure you select 'camera' from the OSL script category dropdown.
