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

[JoGo23]

You need to have the 2024_Alpha_3 on both sides.

Thanks!

Just got it working with Mac and PC using 2024_Alpha_2.

I couldn't find the 2024_Alpha_3 daemon installer - do you have a link?

[mitchino]

Actually, didn't get it working, had to update my nvidia drivers on the PC.

But FINALLY it works... Simple scene just on the M2 Pro, 46 seconds. Add in the PC and 2 x 3090s, 5 seconds.

Many thanks to all the developers, this is a total game changer for me!

Hi,
this issue has been fixed some time ago, and you are the first one reporting it with 2023.1.2-R7.

Please write to help at otoy dot com asking for Beppe, so I can investigate more deeply your case.

ciao,

Hey
I'm trying to connect my PC via network render to a Mac as a slave.
I have already installed the daemon on Windows, but when I try to click "Network Preferences" in the Octane settings on a Mac, nothing happens.
And there should be a window with machines available on the network.
What is the problem?

I have a MacBook Pro M2 and octane 2023.1.2 (R7)

Try to disable firewall completely.
I experienced similar network problem recently.
I
Windows can something but can’t get answer something I guess my problem was like that. I could not fix firewall settings yet but it worked for me.

Please note that c4doctane 2023.1.x versions don't have Network Rendering feature enabled.

You need a 2024.1-Alpha version to be able to use Network Rendering with Apple Silicon.

Latest version is 2024.1-Alpha4, here is the link to c4doctane plugin:

And the link to corresponding Render Node version for Windows:

And Render Node for Linux:

Happy Net GPU rendering!
