OTOY has recently developed an installer for OctaneRender® for Cinema 4D. This makes the process of getting Octane ready to render much simpler than before. You do not have to worry about putting Octane in the wrong location, or removing DLL files that do you match your Cinema 4D installation. The installer does all of this for you.
