Hi there.
I tried to install the latest build on extracted sdk zip plugin folder but Octane is not showing up on C4D R20.
Any directions would be greatly appreciated.

Using Octane on R20
Moderators: ChrisHekman, aoktar
Sorry what are you trying to do?
Octane For Cinema 4D developer / 3d generalist
3930k / 16gb / 780ti + 1070/1080 / psu 1600w / numerous hw
3930k / 16gb / 780ti + 1070/1080 / psu 1600w / numerous hw
Either simply create a "Cinema 4D R20\plugins" subfolder like it was before R20 or copy the Octane plugin into the "plugins" folder in your "prefs" directory.
C4D 2025 | Win10
Putting Octane in the Prefs directory worked for me.
CaseLabs Mercury S8 / ASUS Z10PE-D8 WS / Crucial 64GB 2133 DDR4 / 2 XEON E5-2687W v3 3.1 GHz / EVGA 1600 P2 / 2 EVGA RTX 2080Ti FTW3 Hybrid/ Cinema 4D
Is it fast? Oh, yeah!

You haven't compiled the latest stable version of Octane on C4D R20.aoktar wrote:Sorry what are you trying to do?
You did for Octane 4 but not 3.
I believe thats the problem.

Hi.
Thanks for the reply.
How I compiled the latest stable version of Octane on C4D R20?
I add my Octane plug in folder to prefs but is not working.

Seth is talking to Aoktar I guess. You don't have to compile anything but there is a v3.08 for R20 and a v4 for R20.
You just have to find the right one
Did you put it in the right folder?
Its either something like
C:\programs\Maxon\Cinema 4D R20\plugins\OctaneRender-for-R20C4D-V3.08.3-R2-win (You have to create the plugins folder!)
or
C:\Users\_Your Name_\AppData\Roaming\MAXON\Cinema 4D R20_random code\plugins\OctaneRender-for-R20C4D-V3.08.3-R2-win

So is there no build for Mac 3.08.3 for R20?
It does not show up in my plugins with the R19 version.
