I am modelling a desert scene and It is simply too much for my cpu to render on its own and i have downloaded centinode to help me render it out through my gpu however no textures are showing. so i selected the material tab and i got the error "select Centileo Node Space first"

Hi W1LY, welcome here! Yes, Cinema nodes are built this way. There are several node spaces: a default one is "current" it corresponds to selected renderer in render settings. You should select CentiLeo in render settings.
You may also switch node spaces in the top right corner of Cinema window, there is dropdown box there.
Once you select the renderer and node space you can create node materials that will be initialised with CentiLeo data.

Hi. When i create a Centileo Material (mind you render settings are set to Centileo), it won't let me open it in the nodespace at all. Only materials that are in your example scene will open in it. Also yes there is "Nodes" in the upper right tab of C4D but then what?

Hi!
1) At first select CentiLeo node space or select CentiLeo in render settings
2) Create New Node Material using Ctrl+Alt+N or menu in material editor
3) Or Create New Node Material using top level C4D menu -> CentiLeo -> Material

Found out the material is ONLY editable in Node Space when creating it from C4D's top bar menu, not from the Material Manager window under Create Material > Extensions > Centileo. Node editor potentially crashes C4D when not in Node window setup

Node material is not created with "Create Material > Extensions > Centileo", you should use one of the ways described in my previous message
