Notes regarding features/functionality

OctaneRender™ for Maya® implements almost full functionality of OctaneRender™ standalone inside Maya®.

COMPATIBILITY AND OCTANERENDER STANDALONE REQUIREMENT

To run OctaneRender™ for Maya®, you need to also have an activated OctaneRender™ Standalone copy activated on the machine you wish to install the plugin onto.
You cannot purchase and use only the Maya plugin and use it without also owning an activated copy of OctaneRender™ Standalone on your machine.

Known issues

Switch to Octane Renderer before opening IPR Window, else Maya crashes:

On it!

Tested it here.
Could you please send a screenshot of your maya.app like this one:

The 4 files should be right there in the plugins folder.
Running here on my testing Mac.

[anderson925]

Here you are

Hmmm, than it should work, the libtbb.dylib is right there next to the .bundle.
Tested it back and forth on my Mac here and thats the setup that works...

I'll launch an Autodesk ticket, asking them what could go wrong with this setup.

[anderson925]

my alternative solution is copying tbblib.dylib to /usr/lib, but open IPR windows Maya immediately crash.

[k.a.schubert]

Did you select OctaneRender as renderer before opening IPR?

Else if you don't have the basic node graph created (at least RenderTarget, FilmSettings and GeometryGroup nodes), it can crash, fixed that and will release update soon
and new automatic node generation will mitigate this problem anyways.

my alternative solution is copying tbblib.dylib to /usr/lib, but open IPR windows Maya immediately crash.

This worked for me!

Mine crashes when you click IPR, no matter what order you approach, selecting Octane as the renderer doesn't make any difference.

Also, this comes up when I make an environment (sunsky) or octane lights,

// Error: Line 1.75: Wrong number of arguments on call to Oct_AE_addDefaultControl.

And there's no settings under Sun Direction or Daylight System, I'm guessing that's not been moved over?

Also, exporting an orbx crashes maya too..
