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 Beppe,thanks for your answear.I've active also export camera,but when octane open the scene i don't see the object in the same position of c4d.I don't know where i wrong,because i've see also the tutorial on you tube but does not work.If you want the next post i attached a little file for understand the right way of export camera.
Have a good day,thank you Beppe.

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

Hi everyone, I have the same problem.. even checking unit scale, selecting the right camera, centering the whole scene into the origin... anything make it works!

same problem in cinema 4d r13 and 11.5

[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
