Okay. Thanks for the information.
But I can’t do my render job jet. Hmm …

We just couldn't wait any longer, our team has begun the move to Win10 PC's. This Mac fanboy is very sad.

For a period of 3 weeks I tried to work with Windows too. But Windows isn’t an alternative for a Mac unfortunately. It is not powerful enough. If you only doing rendering, it’s okay. But not if you are making many other things, as I do, it’s impossible to switch.

I manage a grand format print shop in our company Along with being the lead 3-D artist. I use Photoshop, illustrator, after affects along with Cinema 4D on a daily basis as well as working with vectorworks to do real world floorplans. I am the biggest Mac fan boy you could know The first computer I bought myself was a PowerBook G4.
This is not a decision we made lately, but when I can price out and AMD, with literally the fastest CPU available right now along with three 2080 TI‘s, for under $10,000 no Mac Pro for will beat that performance per dollar.

• There is no actual CUDA driver for Mojave
• There is no Octane that is running on an iMac under Mojave.

So, what can I do now? Buy VRay?!? I don't want to leave the Octane platform!
Is there a download for Octane X available, perhaps a public beta?

you can always install bootcamp, and run windows. its a temp solution, but it works for me. I can at least use my RTX card with my macbook pro.

Hi,
im having trouble with octane for blender on my 2015 Macbook Pro. Can somebody tell me if it should work? I'm not able to see anything rendering.
I'm a total beginner also. I just wanted to test it...

AMD Radoen R9 is build in.

Thanks!
