Hi guys, I need a big help on this while I can't figure it out and working on it for a week already.

I have a MacBookPro Mid 2009 with Nvidia GeForce9600M GT and Nvidia GeForce 9400M, latest CUDA drives (6.0.37) and 10.9.2 Mavericks.

I try to use Octane in Cinema4D, everything launches alright except when I make a new Octane material Cinema4D get the beach ball of death and needs to be force quit (crashes). The Standalone demo has written in the bottom right corner of the viewport "0 Textures, 0 Tris, 0 Meshes, no CUDA GPUs, /0/0 MB" in red, and even opening one of the demo scenes doesn't change the early mentioned message, in red... showing the scene content in the tabs but nothing in the viewport... which makes me think that might be a hint for why the Cinema4D is crashing when making new materials.

I use OctaneRender Demo 1.50 (standalone) and "Octane-for-C4D-1.52.1-Macosx-demo" plugin for Cinema4D.


Any help, hints, links and directions are extremely and highly appreciated.

Thank you,
AAMotion

just an update on this, the Octane for Cinema4D log window lists:

---
OctaneRender version 1.51 (1510000)

CUDA device 0: Failed to find a CUDA binary matching compute model 1.1
CUDA device 1: Failed to find a CUDA binary matching compute model 1.1
Can't Read Preset File: /Applications/MAXON/CINEMA 4D R15/plugins/c4dOctanepresets.dat
Can't Read Preset File: /Applications/MAXON/CINEMA 4D R15/plugins/c4dOctanepresets.dat
---

So it seems there is a CUDA issue while both the pugin and the standalone say the same thing.. I don't get it why, while everything is up to date...
There is no "c4dOctanepresets.dat" file because it did not come with the plugin...

Hi,
i think that your card is not supported. They have unsupported Compute models

Thank you aoktar, you are totally right...
After digging around a bit more with regards to "compute model" I might either need a old version of Octane that supports CUDA Compute 1.1 or a newer card.
I think my only solution is to change my MacPro ATI cards while the laptop's Nvidias become... unusable.

Thanks
