Octane X Classic 4+

There is laughably very little about how to use this software. Is this just a render engine? How do I connect it to my 3D software? The manual is so dense with seemingly little explanation.

Pretty bummed.

I saw octane was free on mac, so I downloaded this version. It didn't work within Cinema 4D, so I went online to see what version I could try. I spent hours downloading and trying various versions. Now I assume there's no trial for any octane product that's easy to use.
I can't imagine who'd want to use a stand-alone renderer either.
And the app isn't really trying to explain its purpose.
OTOY should do some market research. And then the leaders of the company should actually try to listen. I'm gonna ignore Octane for a long while after this.

People on here have no reason to complain about this. They are clearly seasoned render artists, all of whom have at some point used and loved Marmoset Toolbag. THIS IS NO DIFFERENT. It’s baffling how complain-y people get over senseless pet peeves such as the title of the app or documentation which is useless for a standalone app such as Marmoset Toolbag —and obviously this. You load a model by dragging dropping, add lighting, textures, move stuff. Thats what a standalone renderer does.
