Can any dev let me know if Octane X for Blender is supposed to work on Mac M1? Because while the Blender app itself opens, the server does not (also why is the server app itself over 1 GB when the PC server app is tiny).
The Metal app are bigger for macOS 11 (at the moment) due to duplication of GPU resources across Apple Silicon, AMD (multiple gens going back to 2013) and Intel - not to mention ARM/x86 overlap in universal binaries. This will go down significantly in future versions once we have some improvements in Metal that are planned in future updates.
We are looking into why M1 OctaneServer isn't working. Can you confirm standalone works? Have you tested other plug-ins?
