its the same path that I've been using for my octane package for years now, including the previous version of 2026.

its a variable thats set to a _PLUGIN folder in my Houdini prefs folder.

on macOS Im currently getting a crash on the creation of any geo at /obj level.

in a new Houdini 21.0.512 scene, with only octane installed, I am getting this crash as soon as I create an empty geo container.

No problem! This is that grailed release many of us have been waiting for, for years. Looking forward to it!

Is this still slated to be released with plugins + cross-platform network rendering this year?

Is there an ETA on a non-beta build? VERY interested in migrating.

Nice a 2023 beta build!

Any chance current production builds will get updated soon for Ventura?

Any info on when Mac/Pc network rendering will hit? It's supposed to be in 2023 right?

Could someone please assist with getting the Houdini plug-in get compiled for PR13 I’ve lost 3 months of sub time now without a plug-in for my main DCC. Months and still the only info we have is that the dev is unable to compile the plug-in.

It’s great that the c4d version is working well but ...

Ok thanks for the update. I've been happy with the Octane X progress, but man the plugin wait is real!
