Does anyone know if octane actually fails to work on big sur? - i know that it was "meant" for catalina..

Octane X is supposed to work even better on Big Sur, with support for OSL and a small but useful percentage performance gain.

will we be able to install on big sur? with latest c4d and pr2 ?
while I can boot to another drive for testing its a pain.. and wanted to see if i can just bring the main system to BS instead..
Anyone have this working with PR1?

Has anyone had success with Octane X PR1 modo plugin or am I the only one not able to use it ?

Modo. No, this does not work. The Modo plugin developer blames the Octane X main branch program, which is probably stuck there. Since then there was no revision that solved the problem. So as long as Octane X is not available as a real release I would not take any money for it without being disappointed. But the developers don't seem to care that modo plugin works either, or simply do not communicate it good enough.

On Twitter Otoy https://twitter.com/OTOY/status/1302953694044938241 announces at 7th sep. in a thread that PR2 is out, if you read it, you will notice that only available in the private tester area. But they provide download links for it (?) but no plugins. Does this make sense?
So again, I hope that some day there will be an ordered channel on which current versions and the appropriate plugins are provided. The way it works at the moment it is a bit chaotic. It is wonderful that Octane is back on the Mac and would love to work with it but it is difficult to keep track of this development if the communication is this kind.

Is there a new update on the release timeframe of Octane X PR2 for Cinema4D?

I noticed there is a PR2 plugin release in the downloads section. Yahoo!! Any details posted on the changes?

Thanks!

Finally zoom, but no OSL support as I tried, maybe I am doing something wrong.

Is it possible to open C4D Octane X files in C4D with Octane 4.05?
I am currently the first to switch from Cuda to Metal in our company and need to know i will be isolated.

Thanks in advance.
