Using the C4D Wizard for Octane Render

The Render Network Cinema 4D Wizardarrow-up-right 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/arrow-up-right

Once installed, the Wizard can be accessed from the Extensions menu (Figure 1).
