NEW: Octane X - is finally here! [MEGA FAQ THREAD] Tweet

[bepeg4d]

Hi, it's just AMD. Have DM'ed you my crash log

Also, I think I figured out why it says PR6, because the startup layout was saved when 6 was active. You need to close the octane diaglog and reopen (then re-save startup layout)

Hi,
the log shows that the Intel GPU is active, so it crashes, please completely disable it in Settings/Devices panel, and render only with AMD for now:

AI Denoiser is not working in PR7, and must be disabled in both Camera Imager and Render Settings.

C4DOctaneX is available for R21, S22, R23.
Please note that C4D R20 is not well supported in Catalina itself, and older versions are completely not supported in Catalina or newer Os X versions:

A new version is on the go and will be published as soon as ready.
Thanks in advance for your patience.

Thanks, that's odd. I use C4D both with and without my AMD in the eGPU, but never have the 630 activated:

Unfortunately the screenshots are not complete... have you disabled also the Tonemap option for the Intel GPU?

My bad. You are correct, I have disabled the tonemap and it seems to work now. Thanks!

Any update regarding the Apple M1 plugin for C4D?

Hello everyone.
To be honest, I am also interested in this question.

I am about to spend another 5k on a PC after shelling out 15k for a mac pro because I cannot GPU render. I do not know if it matters much but this is the error I just got and I had not even touched the scene yet. But that is not the norm, usually I can run Octane X but it is painfully slow on my two Radeon Vega Pro II cards, slower than I have seen it run on the same scene on two 2080tis cards. I have no idea why that would be. But I have realized that for me certain assets seem to crash a lot. Octane X does not update live for me most of the time, if I make any major changes to a scene I have to resend the render to the standalone and that is where most of my crashes come from, although I do get some just doing normal things like adding a floating node or attempting to adjust a UV in the node editor.

If you have Octane X for Catalina do not update to Big Sur, that was when it all changed for me.

Thing is, for OTOY to make OctaneX work properly it needed certain things in the drivers in Big Sur. I've been lucky; apart from the denoising issue (which seems like it needs another Big Sur update to fix), OctaneX is running pretty well on my Mac Pro (dual 5700XTs). Not sure why your machine isn't performing – it should be great with Radeon Vega Pro IIs.

Jules Urbach stated that this year they should focus on making Octane stable since it's already quite feature-rich. I really hope they live by that because stability is Octane's major Achille's heel. Hopefully, once OctaneX and Octane CUDA are on the same code base and release version, things will get easier/simpler. Feels like we're almost there....

I am using the PR6 C4D Plugin Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7 and without fail when I use PT I get a crash. Been using DL and have had little to no crashes. This is incredibly infuriating. I am also using an EGPU with a Radeon WX 9100. I so want to like Octane but it just doesn't seem to like me. The scene renders fine in the live viewer so its only when I go to render it out as a still that the issue happens.

[bepeg4d]

Hi Jedi_blade,
I need to see some logs.

Please, open the scene, then go to c4doctane Settings/Other tab, and, at the bottom of the panel, enable all the Log option checkboxes.
Then, load the scene in Live View, then in Picture Viewer, or until crash, then reopen c4d, navigate to c4doctane Settings/Other tab, press the Generate log report button, and share the octanelog_report.zip file, thanks.

Hi
Any idea on when we can expect a working C4D Plugin for Apple Mac M1 ?
Or any hints for a workaround?
Thanks!
