Hi guys,

im trying to create a material that has displacement on Octane 4.02. Before i used to right click on texture, go to c4doctane select displacemenet then pick the image.. now it seems "displacement" disappeared from c4d octane in "Texture", and when i upload an image it doesn't work.. any idea how i can fix this for this version? thanks

Delete current plugin and install the latest build by reading install notes.

i removed the "C4doctane" folder from "plugins", opened C4d, Octane was not there.
Then i readded the c4doctane folder to plugin, deleted the R's except 20, reopened C4D and Octane was there, but the problem is still there. i still cant see "Displacement" in the list.

I am going to my subscription page, all 3 files to download are downloading the same thing it seems "OctaneStudio-for-C4D-V4.02.1-R3-win" its 46 mbs zipped folder, Attaching reference

Can you please further explain where can i find "Install Notes"? What am i doing wrong? Do i have to download the version thats after 4.02?

In case it's easier to resolve this by phone or call please let me know.

Thank you

Hi,
please have a look at the following video tutorial:

Also download and install Standalone application (not the zipped version), since it changes some Windows registry optimized for GPU rendering.

Hello,

you sent me a video that details how to install Octane for C4D 19:

1- i am working on C4D 20

2- if you read my previous post, i have already installed this exactly as it says in youtube link. My Octane 4.02 seems to be working fine in all aspects except for "Displacement", I cant seem to find it in the menu as per the attachment below.

3- All 3 Subscriptions in my page ( Studio Standalone, Studio Maxon Cinema 4D, Studio All-Access Plugin License) are redirecting me to download the same file "OctaneStudio-for-C4D-V4.02.1-R3-win"

4 - Where can i access the standalone application (.exe file)? Should i uninstall the current exe version i have, then install it again, then add "c4doctane" to "plugins" again from scratch?

Update: I just uninstalled Octane 4.02, deleted the folder from Plugins, then Installed Octane again from scratch and re-added the folder inside Plugins, im still facing the same problem: i cant find displacement in the attached.

Help! Without Displacement then really most of the fun of doing the work isn't there.

Much appreciated.
Displacement still missing after second installation

It's same on me. But why don't use "add displacement" button?

Hi,

I don't know if this gonna be useful but you have to click on Add Displacement button. Then double click on the white square/shader and you can add your image by clicking the three dots. It worked for me.
