Once you check Accept and hit Download, you’ll get a ZIP file (Mac) or a RAR file (Windows). macOS (CUDA) is for older Macs that still had NVIDIA cards and older versions of the OS. macOS (Metal) is for newer Macs (Catalina or Big Sur, with supported AMD cards, and soon (as of this writing) for the M1 chips.
You can use either the Operating System dropdown to filter between the Mac and Windows versions or you can just look at the list and click the Download button next to the latest version for your operating system. You don’t need to download Octane Standalone unless you want to play with that separately. Choose either OctaneRender Enterprise for Cinema 4D or OctaneStudio for Cinema 4D. From there it will have you sign in to your account if you aren’t already, and then take you to the downloads page.ĭepending on which version of Octane you have (Enterprise or Studio), the Select Software list will populate with a number of options. Go to and click the downloads link in the red navbar at the top. How do I download and install OctaneRender for Cinema 4D? Within C4D, Octane provides a real-time render viewport window (called the Live Viewer), a full material system that can be edited in the Material Editor (like you’re used to) or in the Node Editor (which you should definitely learn how to do, but isn’t covered in this guide), tags that augment C4D’s native camera and lights, and then a few other objects that offload processor-intensive tasks directly to the GPU.
This guide was written using Octane 2020.2.3, but it's basic enough that it should work fine with pretty much any subscription version to come out in recent years. In this guide, we’re going to focus on Octane as a plugin for Cinema 4D. It’s available as a standalone product and as a plug-in for DCC (Digital Content Creation) host apps like Maya, 3D Studio MAX, and Cinema 4D. OctaneRender is a physical-based render engine developed by OTOY.
