Dear Mojave

it would be great to have the Macos render nodes back!?
With the upcoming M5 Ultra and the power of the next M6 it will be worth to have some mac nodes running.
There are a lot of user out there seeking for the macos render nodes also because of the huge VRAM of the mac.

Kind regards ...

Hello Beppe,
could you please post a link to the core team, so that I/we can discuss with them?

Dear Beppe, dear Chris

once again I want to ask, if we could expect to have Octane render nodes for macos again? Would be very nice regarding the big VRAM and the actual very good stability of octane renderer under macos.
In June M5Ultra is expected and on the long run next M processors will have a ...

Dear Beppe

it would be very nice to have the macos render nodes back! As you know M5 Ultra is not far away and it would be great to combine this with other M3,M4 resources because of the huge VRAM they can provide! Especially architectural scenes with lots of plants etc. would benefit a lot... not ...

Hi everyone, I want to set up a linux render server on my old mac 5,1. Anyone has experience with this set-up? Otoy seems not to develop render nodes for mac...so I give linux a try. Beppe do you have any advices or driver tipps what ever I have to take care when setting up? Thanks for your help in ...

Hey Beppe

please hurry up with mac render nodes, as there are now coming up machines with M5 Pro/Max which could be worth for node rendering.

And it would be very great to have ...

Hey Beppe

found the solution!!! I animated the rotor with automatic curve continuation!
I thought maybe a key at the end could help... so it does!
But sure its a small bug when c4d continuing a keyframe animation the motionblur is not working correctly!
Here the same rendering with 8 timesamples ...

Ciao Beppe

Timesampling per frame 4 does not change anything, there is no blur between the samples of movement...
See attached picture.

Hey Chris, thanks for your great work!
Octane is super stagle on my macbook pro M3!
I have some trouble with the motionblur of a helicopter rotor. In Octane 2022 (on my old mac Pro) it works fine with one sample in the octane global render settings...
In Octane 2025.4 1.7.2 it looks quite wrong ...

Dear Ahmet
thanks for your work, but we need to earn our living with this software, we do not sit and render for fun...or render only one frame, we produce animations lots of frames!!
So it is/was a kind of big decision to accept all this small problems and instabilities of octane.
And after this ...
