How to set the default renderer in Cinema 4D

It is possible to set the default renderer inside Cinema 4D to your preferred render engine. This means you can set Standard, Physical, or Redshift to be your renderer upon opening a new Cinema 4D file.

To set your default renderer, open a new blank Cinema 4D file. 

In your render settings, change the renderer to your preferred choice. 

Then go to Window > Customization > Save as Default Scene.

This method also allows you to set up a start file with other preferred options such as project or render settings.
