Version 2023.1.02 fixed this for me, many thanks!

Heya, trying the new octane on ios 17 and an ipad pro;

Is there a trick to get it to load vertex colours from a .obj? I've changed the material diffuse type to 'color vertex attribute', and from what I've read obj vertex colour should be called 'Kd', but it doesn't work. I know that obj internally doesn't actually name the colour attribute, its just a convention to call it Kd, does octane understand this, or does it assume for some other name? I've tried Cd, color, colour, color1, whatever other combos I can think of, no dice...

I don't have photos but i was able to test the orbx scene and got :
M3 MBP 14" max 40 gpu = 14 seconds
M2 Ultra studio 60 gpu = 16 seconds

i was using the latest standalone though and not the 2022.1 release.

Hi,
here is the link to Prime 2023.1-R6:

About OctaneX for iPad and vertex color, try to check the .mtl file that comes with the .obj, the variable should be listed.

is there any idea of the timing of when we can get 2024.1X for cinema 4D as a beta at the very least?

Hi, Otoy

If I am already the owner of last year’s Black Friday, can I buy a new subscription for the year’s Black Friday this year, and how to do it correctly? and will GSG+ be active this year too?

thanks,
Ziyo

What are the results in latest 2024.1 alpha builds?

Ciao Beppe,
I have a problem wuith octane x on macstudio, i try to use network rendering on my mac, but the network preferences panel doesn't work, the same problem was on the older plugin c4d version.
There is a solution to use network rendering on osx.
I now that the network rendering dosn't work in a mix cp/mac network, but a try to use this in only mac network. Unfortinately i don't se oter mac in my network.
thant you.

ITs not just you.. the network panel doesn't work for me either.. regardless of: Mac to Mac - Mac to pc
I'm hoping we don't have long to wait to finally after years.. be able to do MAC-PC rendering!!!

Multi platform Net Render is going to arrive with 2024.1 Alpha1:
