Hi Friends -

Trying to get up on Blender after years on Cinema.

Installed latest Blender DMG and Octane Server on Mac Studio M2 Ultra running Sequoia.

Everything seems much more buggy than I expected, so I'm sure to have more questions...
but first I would like to know about these two issues ...

You need Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3 GPU to be able to work in Ventura or Sonoma.

Hey Beppe -

Can we expect that a Ventura Intel ...

RESOLVED

I had created a folder named "Plugins" as opposed to "plugins" ( note the case sensitivity ).

The file I created still occasionally crashed, so I copied my elements into a fresh scene (had to do this a few times as I iterated forward) and this seemed to resolve crashing. Once I ...

I replied - it seems to be stuck in my "Outbox" after I pressed send. Not sure if that is a bug. Let me know if you don't see it.

Ciao bello-

Cinema R21 & R23 won't get past the initialization splash pages, so I can't get you that extension folder. Take a look at the Crash Reports below (top segments only).

Attaching 2 images - both are the APP paths you dropped in your message to me.

Let me know if I can get you something ...

UPDATE #2:

Moved over to my Late 2019 MBP running Monterey. Installed C4D R23 and Octane - still crashes occasionally, but was able to at least work for a while. Attaching Bug Report from the most recent crash that occurred when starting the Octane Viewer.

Note - I installed Octane's folder to the ...

UPDATE:

Reinstalled Big Sur.

At least R22 was able to open at all - the other versions (21, 23) would still not get past the initialization process.

Regardless, R22 crashes with the same error as before: The plugin liboctane.dylib has crashed.

Hi All,

Thanks in advance for reading into my issue.

This crashing problem started a few days ago, out of the blue. No major changes I can think of, but everything was working, then a few crashes, then total failure over the course of a few days.

Mac 11.5.2

FIGURED IT OUT!

For anyone else who may have the same issue:

First, run the Daemon installer - default settings worked fine for me.
Second, in the Live Viewer, select OPTIONS > NETWORK RENDERING > ENABLE

That did the trick for me.

I do find it strange that Network Rendering Protocols are not ...

Hello Octane Community!

I've just purchased two licenses and have no problem to get Octane running on both of my machines. However, they are not seeing each other over the network for rendering purposes.

Both machines run OS X 10.10.5 - all C4D and Octane versions are the same.
The licenses were ...
