NEW: Octane X - is finally here! [MEGA FAQ THREAD] Tweet

[cjadams]

Unfortunately the screenshots are not complete... have you disabled also the Tonemap option for the Intel GPU?

ciao Beppe

Beppe On mac OS .. where is the preference file for those settings? I think mine is read only.. or.. maybe it is because i'm using the new.c4d project trick.. perhaps.. either way.. my settings seem to be read only and each time i restart i need to "Uncheck" the intel gpu each time.. its soooo very annoying.!
Where in the os are those prefs at.. so i can kill the file and hopefully it will then stay off.

Hi,
please, try to delete the oct.dat file, at the following path:
/Users/UserName/Library/Preferences/Maxon/Maxon Cinema 4D R2X_XXXXXX/prefs/oct.dat

Hi,
unfortunately at my work place all the people must work only on mac, so the boss bought for me a macpro 2019 with an amd radeon pro w5700x 16gb. Still using Catalina, "they" want wait before jump to big sur, so, I'm with lightwave and PR6. It works, slow, but works. My problem is with renders at resolution more than fullhd, for example, if I render a 2500x2000 the image has some rectangular areas with different luminosity. This happens using denoise or not, no difference. I want ask if PR7 has resolved this problem, at least without denoise (I knows there are some problems with denoise). If yes I push to upgrade to big sur.
Thank you
Gianluca

Hi Gianluca,
can you share some logs about “ rectangular areas with different luminosity”?
It could be related to almost finished system RAM.
If you render at 2000x1500 it works, correct?
The frame buffer is handled in RAM in Octane.

Beppe - Can anyone there confirm that octane X is broken in 11.2.x? by chance? device errors.. and lockups when creating an octane material.. Should i shove this in the octane x issues thread?

From December we are waiting for a new release with a working Denoise. Octane X shouldn't be paid. It's been all too long.

Let me assume you never used it for any works? And our all work is useless without having a denoiser?

Hi cjadams,
OctaneX PR7 is working as expected here, under Mac Os 11.2.1:

Please share a c4doctanelog.txt.

Please, open the scene, then go to c4doctane Settings/Other tab, and, at the bottom of the panel, enable all the Log option checkboxes.
Then, load the scene in Live View, then in Picture Viewer, or until crash, then reopen c4d, navigate to c4doctane Settings/Other tab, press the Generate log report button, and share the octanelog_report.zip file, thanks.


ciao Beppe

I can make it happen each time i add an octane material. doesn't matter if its from the DB or just extensions octane material.. menu..
Eventhough i have disabled Intel graphics in octane prefs.. BTW Mine don't stay disabled after a reboot... [email protected]!!
I noted that when i got the beachball freeze.. it was doing a render failed! intel card was the 3rd one.. So i am wondering if the material thumbnail is trying to use the intel card when it should NOT..!

See logs attached.. and screen grabs!
This happens 100% of the time.
