So it's been three months since the last update of OctaneX. Any news on the next update… at all? Is denoising fixed? I doubt it, but thought I'd ask. Again.

Pfft. Six days later and not a single response. I am so done with Octane and OTOY.

And any word on denoising on Intel/AMD? Is already fixed, going to be fixed, never going to be fixed? Be nice to know so I can plan my move to a renderer that works.

Totally agree. I dropped a shit-ton of money on my Mac Pro, largely because of the promise of Octane X, and have upgraded to a W6800X Duo because Octane is really crashy on 8GB VRAM GPUs. I can't see Apple releasing a Mac Pro to compete with mine for at least a year to 18 months, so I really hope ...

Well, that’s smashing news for Apple Silicon users. Not so welcome for people like me who have invested heavily in the Mac Pro and Apple’s expensive MPX GPUs. I understand the desire to support Apple’s lovely new hardware, but don’t forget about us. We’re the ones who’ve been supporting Octane on ...

OctaneX is much improved, but mainly because I bought a GPU with loads of ...

Good idea. I second that motion.

I’ve posted a number of questions recently and had zero response to any of them. I’ve also contacted OTOY support twice and had no answer. Meanwhile my free license continues to fritter away and I still can’t use OctaneX. Very disappointing.

Still, when Blender’s Cycles runs on Apple Metal next ...

When will we get the Mac Pro year's free license version (Studio)? I'm losing days of OctaneX, because I'm on macOS Monterey and C4D R25.

I'm on a 24-core Intel Mac Pro and the denoiser's not doing anything here either.
