Steps to Use

Method 1: Using FBX Export

1. Export the Scene from C4D:

   • Open your project in Cinema 4D and ensure all Octane materials are properly set up.
   • Export the scene as an FBX file:
     • Go to File > Export and choose FBX File.
     • Make sure the export settings include geometry, materials, and texture paths.

2. Import into Blender:

   • Open Blender and load your project or create a new scene.
   • Import the FBX file:
     • Go to File > Import > FBX, then select and load your exported file.

3. Run the Plugin:

   • Ensure the Import Octane Material Pro plugin is installed and enabled:
     • Go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons, then install and enable the plugin.
   • Open the plugin panel in Blender and click "Import Octane Materials". The plugin will automatically match the geometry and Octane materials.

4. Check and Adjust:

   • Verify the materials and textures are correctly applied.
   • Make further adjustments as needed, such as tweaking lights or fine-tuning shaders.

Method 2: Using SyncTool for Fast Import (Recommended)

1. Enable SyncTool:

   • Ensure that the SyncTool plugin is installed and running in both C4D and Blender.

2. Copy in C4D:

   • Select the 3D asset(s) you want to transfer along with their Octane materials.
   • Right-click and choose "Copy", or use the appropriate shortcut to copy the selection.

3. Paste in Blender:

   • Open the SyncTool panel in Blender.
   • Click "Paste" or use the corresponding shortcut. The 3D asset(s) will be imported into Blender, complete with geometry, materials, and textures.

4. Quick Check:

   • Review the imported asset to ensure the materials and geometry are intact.
   • If there are minor issues, simply make slight adjustments manually.
