# Scene Packaging & Optimization

#### 🔷 Cinema 4D (Octane or Redshift)

* Use the **C4D Wizard Plugin** (inside Cinema 4D):
* Checks for missing textures and non localized links
* Identifies uncached objects
* Flags unsupported plugins
* Preps ZIP file automatically
* Can publish files directly to the Manager App with API Access without the need to ZIP
* Drag the ZIP into the [**Manager App**](/getting-started/render-network-tutorials/lmi-houdini-tools-or-unlocking-octane-and-render-network-capabilities-with-andrey-lebrov.md) for seamless submission

#### 🔷 Octane Standalone

* Export your scene as an **ORBX file**.
* Submit via **Manager App, WebApp, or through Octane Standalone**.

Caution: ORBX files bake all geometry and animations into a single heavy package, similar to Alembic caches. For highly dynamic scenes, prefer C4D methods if possible.

***

#### 🔷 Blender (Cycles)

* Pack your Blender project into a ZIP.
* Submit via **WebApp ONLY**.
* Manager App currently does ***not support Blender***.

#### Scene Optimization Tips

* Reduce unnecessary geometry.
* Use optimized texture resolutions.
* Bake dynamics/particles when possible.
* Remove unused assets and hidden geometry.
* Set correct frame range and output format.
* Verify your render samples balance noise and efficiency.
* Do a test render of a few frames on the network
