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

[bepeg4d]

Just updated to Big Sur thinking now that PR5 for Big Sur was out, I'd be golden!

Big. Mistake. Octane is virtually unusable. I've tried it with S22 and R23, crashes constantly (and yes, I only have the xlibs for the corresponding versions installed correctly in their respective folders). I get instant render errors when first starting it up most of the time, if I add a transform/projection note in my materials, instant crash (it used to do that some of the time on Catalina PR4, now its constant).

Please help

What setup are you using?

My daily driver is a AMD Ryzen Hackintosh running BigSur
Aorus Elite w/ Ryzen 3990x
64 gb ram
M.2 1TB SSD x2
1x Radeon VII
1x Vega 64 water cooled

I also have been using it on a 2019 MBP with eGPU (also vega64)

I can't send you a private message back, I want to attach my logs but I think the first one you asked me to get has private information about my computer so I don't want to post that publicly, is there another way I can get you the files?

Hi Bepeg4d:
I installed OctaneX PR5 plugin on my MacOS Big Sur 11.0.1 , but whenever I click any octane button on the top menu, my C4D will crash. Is my Mac incompatible with OctaneX? It is a Mid-2015 MacBook pro, 16GB, Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB, AMD Radeon R9 M370X.

Please help:(
Thanks.

Hi Perrin,
unfortunately AMD Radeon R9 is not a Polaris GPU, so it is not supported even under Mac Os 11.0.1 Big Sur:

Basically you need a Mac from 2016 or newer, to be able to run Octane without an eGPU.
About eGPU via Thunderbolt 2, please have a look at here:

When can we expect a new version of the Octane X Blender Plug-In for Big Sur? Since PR2 it‘s awfully quiet around Blender

[susu2k]

I just accidentially bought a new Enterprise license because the download link is broken. It kept showing Studio so I upgraded and only noticed thanks to your comment that the download link is pointing to the Studio license for Big Sur

Any fix for this? Want to use my 3 gpus.

Using Octane X PR6 (Catalina)

LV is restarting renders whenever I move my mouse across the C4D viewport or really any part of the C4D workspace. Any idea why this would be happening?
