Hi Ahmed,
the new version seems to be awesome. I am super excited about the scatter function, because I am messing up with SurfaceSpread ....
Unfortunately it is not working on my machine.
I tried R17 + R16 plugin versions but Cinema does not start with the new plugin. It's saying 'initializing layout' but keeps doing it forever. need to kill it via task manager.
I tried to start with all Octane windows closed (which are normally part of my C4D start layout) but this worked only first time.
I am on 2.24.2 standalone version.

This is exactly my findings as well. I had to remove Octane icons from my layout for Cinema to start up. But now I can't open Octane Dialog without crashing Cinema.
I realize it's just a test version. I am very much looking forward to all these great things

Is there way to test voxel rendering or is it wip? I'm just wondering what kind of objects/materials its gonna support? PyroCluster, TurbulenceFD, X-Particle gaseous?

This is weird. Because i always have some Octane windows are embedded to my layouts. Why don't you send a bugreport? I can't detect without this files where does it crashes!

EDIT: I have found it. It's about embedded octane dialog. Will be fixed.

Not yet. We are waiting for first public release of 3.0. TFD and XP will be supported. But with own material system of Octane. Main target to produce smoke, fire, clouds, etc by Octane's spectral features.

I tried to install the plugin on cinema 4d 17. I downloaded the zip file, erase all the cdl64 except the R17 and the plugin didnt work. This time I erase all except R16 and the plugin works. Something wrong happens with c4dOctane-R17.cdl64 file.

Thanks for info. What's build/version numbers of R17?

Cinema 4D R17.016 (Build RB136011)

hi ahmet
thanks a lot for the new version!

it seems as if something goes wrong with R17 and the "template.l4d file.
i cant load any template to the prefs-folder an load it as default-template. octane crashes cinema imediately. when i delete the "template.l4d file in the prefs-folder:
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\MAXON\CINEMA 4D R17_8DE13DAD\prefs
then octane starts without any trouble.
i tried to create a fresh new template but whenever i save the template as "default template at startup" octane crashes while launching the octane-dialog.
it works without any trouble with v4d R14 so far.
thanks in advance!

my specs:

Win 7 64bit
c4d R17.032
octane standalone 2.24.2
