Cinema 4D to AR using Octane Render
Is it possible to use the same way of exporting stuff when you have textured/lit the scene using Octane instead of standard render? not really. AR uses real-time shaders, all the actual lighting and materials are generally calculated in real time on the device (like a game), that's what makes it look like it "fits" into the scene. The reason you'd use standard c4d materials is because the way the gltf exporter is built, its expecting standard materials to translate those parameters into gltf materials and shaders, that will work in a real time rendered environment. The GLTF exporter built into C4D now is based off an earlier maxon labs plugin, and the developer of said plugin breaks down exactly what parts of the standard materials will translate (as well as cameras) here . Again - the exporter has probably been updated, but the limitations of GLTF and AR in general havent reeeeally, so all the info on that page on which channels export and which dont is still probably very relevant. anyway with that all out of the way. Its not impossible to sort of "use" octane the way you want. you just have to bake down all the octane materials into images that can then be re-slotted into the standard material layers. Just look up octane uv bake on youtube and you should be able to find some tuts on how to bake down octane materials. More on reddit.com

Octane and Cinema 4D preparing time - OTOY Forums
The preparation time is in picture viewer in cinema, I can post screen shots, but basically it gives me the message preparing for 2minutes before it starts rendering octane which then takes very little time. Any advice? Cheers, Jai If so it's not about plugin, maybe you have dynamics objects or hair, etc...

r/Cinema4D on Reddit: Is Octane Render Dying?
November 8, 2023 -

I actually had no idea there was a new version of the plugin available until I saw a YouTube tutorial recommendation pop up. There's a lot of really great new features in this new version so it surprised me the last update on the site and YouTube page was from April.

It does get a little concerning after awhile that there's just not enough support and innovation for Octane and ultimately they're just letting it die. Programs like Unreal, Blender, and Redshift are updating regularly, and Cinema 4D itself was falling behind but feels like its really been stepping it up lately. Octane feels very far behind in terms regular innovation or even just enthusiasm for their product.

There's a lot of emphasis in the 3D world of "learn every single program inside and out and learn it yesterday" but some of us don't have the time or Adderall habit to do that. Octane has a lot going for it still and is still one of the most user friendly renderers. I would like to keep using it and I don't want to see it languish.

But am I worrying about nothing? How many of you are still using it versus making the switch to something else?
