Hi Beppe,
You also should mention that 2022.1 XB 1 only works correctly on MacOS12 and Apple GPUs.

is there a macOS C4D plugin compatible w/ 2022.1 available ?

Not yet, working on to make it happens

In the Blender build I seem to be missing a few nodes. I was looking for the Channel Mapper and found I don't see any of the channel ones, nor the Ray Switch. Any idea? (Also, the selection issue is still a huge pain in the butt)

[3dworks]

Just a short question: is the chaos node still missing in PR14 or was this feature renamed/removed in the last octane versions? I'm still stuck at version 2020 on CUDA mac side, so I didn't follow all developments for 2021/22 versions.

@Senshi and 3dworks,
PR14 is still based on 2020.1.5 SDK, so a lot of new features added to 2020.2 and 2021.1 are still missing, you need to use alternative OSL solutions:

• for RaySwitch: viewtopic.php?f=87&t=67849&hilit=raytype#p340123
• for Chaos node: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=79536&p=411057&hilit=tile+osl#p410913

ciao,
