Hi Lino,

I am testing OctaneBlender Addon 2026.2 - 31.6 Beta Release right now and it felt much more stable right off the bat.

i will keep on testing and will report in a couple of days.

Thank you

128GB unified Memory M4 Max.

Could you please send me an upload link because the 16k Textures are pretty big.

The high displacement on 31.6 is still quite buggy on Mac OSX. The viewport freezes a lot especially with 16k textures. You constantly have to toogle render mode on and off in the viewport to make the render active again.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you

2026.1 addon Beta 2

The Network rendering is working perfectly fine. I could not find any bugs in the Network Rendering on Blender Addon on OSX with Windows Render Node.

Is there a 2026.1 Render node available for download to test the network rendering ?

The longterm safest bet is Cycles but up to now I don´t get comparable results. Maybe my lack of Cycles experience.

Either go for Cycles or accept the reality of the Otoy Universe with all the ups and downs.

This release is really disappointing on OSX in terms of stability. This is such a buggy version not even worth the release or the Name Beta.

This is the orbx scene in 2026.1 Beta 2 Standalone. It is working but is almost unusably slow and it shows this strange pattern.

The texture displacement in HIGH mode is not working reliably in OSX. M4 Max Blender native ARM 4.5.5

Sometimes it is stuck (see screenshot) sometimes you have to switch rendering modes sometime the viewport is frozen.
