Using the C4D Wizard for Octane Render
Last updated
Last updated
The Render Network Cinema 4D Wizard can be used to prepare and upload native C4D files rendered with either Octane or Redshift to the Render Network. The C4D Wizard packs a project into a zip-file which can then be dragged-and-dropped into the Render Network WebApp. This guide walks you through using the C4D Wizard for Redshift
The Wizard can be downloaded from this link: https://rendernetwork.com/integrations/c4d/
Once installed, the Wizard can be accessed from the Extensions menu (Figure 1).
The following link demonstrates the overall process of using the Wizard inside of C4D, including the steps for proper installation.
Octane should be listed under the Render Engine entry in the Wizard window (Figure 2).
Additional information regarding the Render Network can be found in the general Cinema 4D manual.
