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

[drunknbass]

Ok a bit confused here..

I see a PR5 bigsur enterprise plugin avail.. but NOT a PR5 Standalone. In my downloads.

I was under the impression these all had to match..
I.e use PR5 ENT. Standalone WITH PR5 ENT CInema4d PLUGIN

Am i missing something here? Or do we still have to wait?
Will these sync up again with PR6?

You need an enterprise subscription to access the current C4D plugin that is working on Big Sur?
Studio subscription isn't suffecient?

[Weezer]

No, I just signed up for a monthly Studio subscription, C4D plugin works – I only have two GPUs.

I haven’t seen a link to an OctaneX C4D plugin build that’s compatible with BigSur. (My downloads section only has pr5 for catalina)

Does this C4D BigSur plugin actually exist?

[Weezer]

I'm using it as I type. It was in my account downloads, under 'OctaneRender Enterprise for Cinema 4D' – Octane X PR5 (Big Sur)

Thanks.
I just renewed my subscription to studio so maybe it will show up now?
I was considering subscribing to enterprise if that was what it took to get a working C4D plugin on BigSur ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

plugin isn't available for studio subscriptions. if you need access now it seems you DO need to purchase an enterprise sub. do not make the same mistake i did.

I recently updated my Studio subscription as well and I don't see it either.
It's still just showing PR5(Catalina).

Really wish I hadn't upgraded to Big Sur so impulsively, man.

Enterprise X PR5 C4D Plugin does not initialise on Apple Silicon M1 or I am too stupid to install the plugin properly in the preferences folder. Was M1 support meant to come in Studio X PR5 oder in Enterprise X PR5?
To be honest, I am getting a bit lost with different version/releases and what GPU is supported on which platform.

[xitvy]

Big Sur, finally, But got a question, it looks like can only select 2 GPU cards in PR5 C4D?

It's available for subscriptions. Latest SDK releases are a big confusion, PR5's are seperately built for Catalina+Big Sur and plus for M1. They will bring all together after this period.

Right, but to @drunknbass' point, to access the Big Sur C4D plugin in the near future Studio subscribers will have to wait for what could be weeks, according to Otoy's FB and Twitter accounts.
Sure, we'll eventually get it, but for now it's either buy a monthly Enterprise subscription and cancel it as soon as the Big Sur version is downloaded or wait.

It's really my bad for installing Big Sur, though.
At least I've learned how important Octane is in my life.
