did you check this links? Also remove other plugins if there is.p3taoctane wrote:Nope... that did not do it either...
I have uninstalled Cinema and reinstalled it fresh and then put Octane plug stuff in fresh too...
I have a feeling it is user error as I do not see anyone else with a similar prob... just can' think what I might be doing wrong.

which limitations which are disturbing to you?Druzic wrote:First off, great work on the plug in so far... Very impressive.
However, due to the limitations of the current beta version, is there a way to run the non-integrated plug-in concurrently as an alternative solution? It would be great if you could use all the modeling utilities of the new plug-in, save the C4D file, then close the integrated plug and send the file with camera to the standalone version for the final material work and output with the non-integrated plug-in.
I am sure I am not alone in having to revert to the older plugin because of material integration limitations.
Druzic wrote:The image to texture is the the biggest, but also the inability to load macros locally. My set-ups use C4D backgounds and aligned image-textured planes as backplates. I use the composite tag to balance the backplate , HDR sky and meshes for render.
Also... the node graph is helpful as separate control of the lighting between the bplate and meshes. ( I know you are working on that... thank you
can you show me sample to provide me understand workflow?Druzic wrote:Well, its not the actual lighting per se... I use the texture emission material node to tweak the balance between the target mesh and bplate. Works pretty good to assist with light influenced color matching. But the HDRi is usually my primary light source.
Still trying to figure a more efficient way to use this method with the shadow catcher... I would be glad to exchange ideas via PM if you like.
