OTOY Forums

When will we get to try out a Beta plugin version for Mac? Lots of my existing plugins fail to work properly with the current stable release of Octane Blender and I can't wait to be able to use the vanilla version of Blender with Octane so all my other plugins can coexist with it. Because Otoy has taken no adequate steps to help fix my issues.

I second this, the current "addon" version seems not to work with macOS M1 vanilla Blender version. I need to use this one because of other Blender addons - which do not load into the "integrated" Octane Blender version. Is there any progress on this? Blender version 3.6.5 for macOS M1 here.

Have you reported this to developers?

Oh, the developer does not read here? It is the Blender support forum, after all.

In any case, here a more detailled report. I am not very practical with Blender yet, so I cannot report more than it's malfunction at this point. Not sure what is the exact problem. I have Octane installed as an add-on and then I start a new "Octane Default Setup", a simple scene with a cube. Then start a render, a Blender Render window will open, but the rendering for the simple cube will take "forever" with a spinning beachball. After a few minutes and no signs of life in the render preview, I just stopped it. Tested with the latest Add-on on the current stable Blender build 3.6.5 with BIM addon.

Hard to say as there is no response here.
