# Using the C4D Wizard for Octane Render

The [**Render Network Cinema 4D Wizard**](https://rendernetwork.com/integrations/c4d/) 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/**](https://rendernetwork.com/integrations/c4d/)

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

Octane should be listed under the **Render Engine** entry in the Wizard window (**Figure 2**).
