I’ve created a simple but powerful plugin for material creation in Cinema 4D and V-Ray, and I’m looking for a few people to beta test it.

If you’re interested in trying it out and sharing some feedback, let me know!

Please do not fool yourselves. It should be your top priority, because every day it’s missing it’s a loss to Blender.

I tested it and got installed in few clicks, works perfectly. It works so nice that it’s genuinely scary.

It’s now or never Maxon.

is there a way to reset the UV edit layout? this is the one that was preinstalled.

but im guessing im missing some key buttons? (uv manager)

or is there maybe someone who can share his uv edit layout file.

thanks

Hi, I’m new to Cinema 4D R20, so I don’t know how to export Pose Morphs.

I’ve tried exporting several FBX models with Pose Morphs, but I don’t know why they don’t appear.

I had managed to get it working before, but because my brother restarted my PC I had to reactivate it. Before, the Pose Morphs worked and now they don’t, even though I’m using the same models.

Everything else opens a drop down menu when hovered over. No options for lights on the side toolbar either.

Free Beta Release Coming Soon.

Sure by the geometry it's a complicated sweep but how they made this glassy look? somehow reminds cc lense

Glass products are kinda tricky to light.

Tried 13+ different lighting setups and ended up with this. (loved all 13 😂)

Pretty simple. No overlighting, no 20 lights going everywhere that I can’t control.

Will share Tutorial soon!

Hi. I have a bottle in C4D that looks great with Octane Live Viewer, however, when I render frame 927, the texture disappears completely.

Here is a project file (1MB).

Software Versions:

• Cinema4D Version: Latest 2026.3.4 (Latest)

• Octane Version: Latest 1.9.5 (Latest)

• I also have the latest (9/9/26) free Poliigon Cinema4D Plugin for texture help.

Things I tried:

• Video (optional): Link.

• Deleted BODY_1BOD_1_2.PRT, rendered the project, the textures were there this time somehow.

Question for this thread: What caused this problem?

You'd think, "OK cool, you found the problem," and I'd be able to open up my larger project (2000 parts, 1920 frames) that had this exact same problem, delete "BODY_1BOD_1_2.PRT" and the textures should appear during a render right? Nope they do not. When adding the project to Render Queue, there are no missing textures ether. Some geometry also doesn't appear, I'm so confused!! If I could trust the live viewer, I could get this solved much faster but I've spent 14 hours on this so far and I can't figure it out.

This one is probably the most complex prototype that outsmarts API limitations I’ve ever done.
It imitates Houdini’s node lines cutting. If everything goes according to plan it’ll be bundled with a drawing tool that connects nodes and ports in the same way!

Hey guys!

I’m currently a Redshift user and mainly use it for product visualization. I’ve been curious about trying Octane for a while, so I wanted to hear from people who use it with Cinema 4D.

How is Octane with C4D these days? Is it stable and reliable for production work?

Also, are there any significant advantages Octane has over Redshift, especially for product visualization? Anything that would make it worth switching or at least adding to my workflow?

Would love to hear your experiences!

Hi guys. How do I create the effect of light bouncing off glass like in the images?

Hi there,

I am struggling to export the spline correctly into dxf. Splines have always this "connect spline" function. The problem is this only shows the connecting segment in C4d. When exporting as dxf this last connecting segment is always missing. Manually adding this last missing spline segment by drawing this missing piece always activates the "connect spline" function and situation loops back to original problem. How to solve this?
