Octane X™ PR 13 Tweet

[haze]

Hi all,

Update 2022-01-24 - we have added the downloads for MacOS11 below.

This is Octane X 2020 PR13 for MacOS11 and MacOS12. There were some minor fixes on top of PR12. This build has support for the new M1 Pro and M1 Max.

Important: Please make sure that you run the right build. The MacOS11 build will not work on MacOS12, and vice versa. This was due to some driver issues between those major versions.

Important notes

• Only Radeon RX 6900 XT models made or sold by AMD are supported (this is a restriction of the OS).
• Polaris and Intel GPUs are ONLY supported on MacOS11 - there were some driver related issues.

Changes since PR12

• Added support for AMD 6600 XT.
• HDR viewport is now the default on MacOS. Please note that some settings such as highlight compression will not behave as you may expect.
• Fixed a render failure sometimes when using the luminance() function.
• Fixed Radius input of the SDF union node.
• Fixed incorrect hair rendering.
• Fixed some very complex materials not rendering correctly.
• Fixed incorrect brightness of the HDR viewport background.
• Improved the tone mapping for the HDR viewport.
• Fixed HDR viewport rendering bug when resetting the workspace.
• Fixed universal camera diopter rotation not being interpreted as degrees.
• Print a message when running without the GUI, but no render devices are available.
• Fixed a case where invalid code was generated when using constant arrays in an OSL texture.
• Fixed triplanar mapping sometimes giving incorrect results.
• Fixed _gammaContrast function.

Just to confirm, if I have a Radeon RX 6900 XT manufactured by Gigabyte, running PR13 on Monterey, it won't work?
But if I use it on PR11 Big Sur it should be fine ?

I have an MSI AMD RX 6900 XT and a RADEON VII and they both work

工程师您好，我的设备使用的 GPU 型号为 AMD6900XT，系统是 MacOS 11.4，在 C4D R25 中安装此版本显示无法使用该 GPU 工作，请问能否在 PR11 版本中添加对R25 的支持？

Hi,
you should need to upgrade macOS to 12.6, to be able to install OctaneX PR13/14, also in C4D R26/26.
If you stay in macOS 11 Big Sur, you are forced to install previous OctaneX PR11, and C4D S24, since C4D R25/26 are supported only under macOS 12 Monterey.
