The Cinema 4D Noise node is for using Cinema 4D's Noise shaders. Recent versions of OctaneRender® added OSL versions of the Cinema 4D noises. The Octane Noise node is a native tool and very efficient. For speed and reliability, the Octane Noise node is the better first choice, with the Cinema 4D Noise node as a fallback as needed.
