# Quickstart - C4D & Octane/Redshift

**1)** The first step to using the Render Network is creating an OTOY account with your email address here: <https://account.otoy.com/user>

**2)** After creating your project using Cinema 4D and Octane or Redshift, you can use the C4D Wizard [(available here)](https://renderfoundation.com/c4d-wizard) to quickly check the scene, package the file, and open the Render Network artist portal at [rndr.x.io](http://rndr.x.io/) ready to upload your zipped .c4d file!&#x20;

Here’s legendary 3D artist, Brilly, explaining how to use the Render Network C4D Wizard:

**3)** You can link your Dropbox or AWS account to your account and have renders sent directly to your cloud storage. Excellent for remote working and having the ability to check on renders on the move!
