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

[JIMipatterson]

I have an Octane subscription to use Octane w Cinema 4d. Well, I installed the Mac version and ran C4D, but it says my sub is already being used. So I logged out of my Windows C4D, and rebooted the MAC. still won't give me access. Anyone having this problem? Also I should be able to use this license on two machines no?

Where and how should bug reports be filed for Octane X (C4D plugin)? I ask since I’m guessing it might be different from how it’s been handled before. And I’d love to be as helpful as possible.

Also- where should we look for updates/future releases? In the respective plugin forums?

[Goldorak]

this is amazing and helps us plan our forward roadmap a bit! its finally here!

when 2020.2 comes out will there be the ability to:

model on a Macintosh workstation and network render with CUDA PCs? Or will it all need to stay one ecosystem?

Exciting times! Congrats to the teams!

It would be the release after 2020.2 where we could merge net rending.

Hey there,

Octane X Standalone works. However, Octane X plugin within Modo gives me this error in the log:

Octane X Enterprise PR1 (10000024)

I have OSX Catalina 10.15.6 running on Mac Pro 2019 with AMD Radeon Pro Vega II 32 GB. I've tried Modo 13.0v1, 13.v2, 14.0v1 & 14.0v2 so far.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the report. We’ll investigate this with Paul.

Macbook Pro with AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 4 GB works fine.
Radeon Pro 560X 4 GB isn't supported, right?

[flux_capacitor]

Why nobody answers the legitimate compatibility question (asked several times in the previous pages of this MEGA FAQ THREAD) of Octane X with Mac Pro Late 2013? In particular the high-end version with dual GPU AMD FirePro D700.

Please tell me how to install this plugin. I put "c4doctane" into the "Cinema 4D-Plugins" folder and nothing happened... (I just bought the software)

Hi Guys, i have 0 experience with octane, so please bear with me.
My Hardware should be fine. Also i did the latest mac software update. Octane on its on is running, but i have problems with the c4d Plugin. I managed to install it, but i get no render-image. Enclosed you find the error massage octane gives me. I have absolutely no idea what to try next, i hope i gave enough informations to fix the problem, if not, let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Lukas
