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

[Pixege]

@ShapeJewelry:
The OctaneX Prime tier is free for at least all of 2021. The expiration date that you see is a rolling expiration date so it will continue to automatically extend itself as needed.

Wait, is the free license working? How to turn it on? In the Store tab, I can only buy it and pay for it. I have a MacBook Pro 16 "I bought in 2020.

Hi,
OctaneX PR7 Big Sur 11.1 Free Prime plugins are available at OTOY shop page, for:

Cinema 4D
Maya
Houdini
LightWave
SketchUp
Blender

https://render.otoy.com/shop/primex.php

They are limited to max 1x GPU, and require Big Sur 11.1 or greater, with an AMD GPU or Intel SkyLake GPU (Apple M1 GPU support is considered beta/experimental)

As said, the prime tier is free for at least all of 2021. The expiration date that you see is a rolling expiration date so it will continue to automatically extend itself as needed.

Happy Mac GPU Rendering,
ciao Beppe

Hey guys! I have to buy 6900XT. Will it supported by OctaneX? (Big Sur)

[Weezer]

Good question. Also interested in this!

As soon as Apple Metal driver will support new Big Navi 6X00 architecture, also OctaneX will be able to use them for rendering... if you can find one.
Here in Italy are almost impossible to find

So, just to be clear, Big Sur does not currently support these GPUs?

[bepeg4d]

Not in 11.2.1, as far as I know... hopefully in 11.3

I have a new install of C4D and new install of Octane, when I run, I get a 'malicious code warning' and the plugin won't run. Anything I can do?

Hi,
this is normal, you need to press OK, allow the c4doctane plugin and library in System Preferences/Security and Privacy panel, and restart C4D a couple of times.
The issue will be fixed for the stable version.
