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

[bepeg4d]

Hi Cedric,
thanks for the screenshot.
Yes, it is normal.
Since you have monitors connected, you have correctly enabled the Priority for both GPUs connected to monitors, and set it to LOW, to leave a portion of GPU power for handling system/monitors.
This is good to have when you are editing the scene.
You can set The Priority popup to HIGH when you need the full rendering power, and the machine is used for rendering only.

@ cjadams: the devs are working on PR10 plugins, just a little bit of more patience.

Happy Mac GPU rendering,
ciao Beppe

Hey! Excuse me if this is old news..
I JUST got a new Mac Pro w two Pro Vega IIs, and OS X Big Sur. I want to confirm that denoiser is NOT working? And up-sampling has issues, too? 2x2 breaks up the image, and 4x4 just seems to degrade it without any "UP" sample at the end.

Hi,
those are known issues of PR7, did you try with PR8?
You can find it by visiting your personal Downloads area:

Hmm. I am using PR8. Still seeing those issues.

[Robinbenito]

Me too. I came here specifically because of the denoiser-issue. Can you give us an estimate for when this will be fixed? I need to know for a project if it's worth waiting..

Otoy, I know it takes time to prepare a new PR10 for C4D and we should be patient, but I don't understand why you didn't release the PR9 which corrects at least the bug of watermarking Render. So many hours, so much electricity is wasted. Renders run overnight break after 35 frames. I don’t get it :/

RENDER ISSUES -

Getting constant render issues. The render will start fine then around 10- 20 frames in will start rendering the same frame over and over. Sometimes it stops. It's been the same through PR5 / PR7 and now PR8. I have a iMac running Radeon Pro 580 and a Radeon Vii in a Razor eGPU. macOS BigSur 11.2. Please and thankyou for any help here - Takes me a week to render anything out

[LUKEBB]

this is what comes up when the render fails....

<<< Render failure detected!!! >>>
Please check render statistics to solve the problem.
Check geometry subdivisons.
Picture viewer uses 'Render' subdivisions. But Live Viewer uses 'Editor' subdivision values.
Try to decrease 'render/editor' subdivison values.

It's not okay to ignore the problem

Hello, I'm a paying subscriber, I made a post on this forum almost a month ago, it wasn't even published. What do I have to do to get some help with Octane x crashing?
I'm using Cinema4d R23 plugin.
PR7 works, but crashes mostly when using bump maps on specular materials, also when noise scales gets small
PR8 doesn't work, live viewer gives a red message saying "EXTERNAL RENDER", whenever I start the live render Cinema crashes.

I am using an iMac Pro
2,3 GHz 18-Core Intel Xeon W
128 GB 2666 MHz DDR4
Radeon Pro Vega 64X 16 GB

Thanks
