PROBLEM EXPORT POSITION CAMERA C4D TO OCTANE RENDER

[Giacomo C]

Hello everyone, when i pass the file from C4D 12 to octane render I can not export the camera. How do you export a scene properly, keeping to the established view of the camera in C4D? thanks in advance

the exporter is made of two panels, in the second panel you can chose the rendering dimensions, the active render camera, the focus distance ecc.
hope it helps

Hi all,someone can tell me what are the steps for export correctly the c4d camera in octane? i have add a tag in c4d camera? i have work in metres also in rhino ?
PLEASE HELP ME!

no, you don't need any tag to the camera, but surely the scale could be the issue. verify the scale of the object in real life dimensions and also check if the the origin position is in the middle of the model

[SOLVED] - I have to say THANK YOU to Beppe, he helped me to solve the camera export issue.
If you want to export correctly the whole scene with correct camera position and dof, you have to set METERS in all this checkbox:
Cinema 4D --> project settings (CTRL+D) --> document scale --> 1 as METERS
Cinema 4D --> edit --> preferences --> display units --> METERS
Octane PLUGIN --> project configuration --> METERS (Actually I don't use the related checkbox "use document scale")
Octane Standalone --> Settings --> OBJ import, units METERS
