Feature Request: Proxies (just like a Redshift Proxy)
Posted: Thu Sep 12, 2024 1:10 pm
I would love to see a feature equivalent to Redshift Proxy implemented in Octane for C4D. From what I understand, this would first need to be developed in Octane Standalone before being available in the C4D plugin, which is why I’m making this feature request.
During my freelance work at a studio, we utilized a Redshift Proxy workflow where multiple artists worked on various scenes. For instance, we often had a model, like a pair of headphones, loaded as a proxy. When the client provided an updated CAD model or requested material changes, we only needed to update the master file and re-export/overwrite the proxy. All linked scene files would automatically reference the updated model when opened, saving time and ensuring consistency.
This functionality is incredibly powerful and would be a valuable addition to Octane's toolkit. It would streamline collaborative workflows and improve efficiency when dealing with frequent updates. I think Octane could greatly benefit from having a similar proxy system.
