First topic here. I would like to say Hello.

Well, Im really impressed of the power of Octane, and I will like to try it on my machine.

The problem is demo version 3 not work on my old school Mac Pro under 10.8. Cuda and NVIDIA drivers are updated to the max in my system.

I can't update to newer versions of OSX due many other programs I use are not compatible with newer systems.

Standalone version 2.0 of Octane works flawless on my machine, and I'm wondering were I can find demo version 2.0 for cinema 4D.

I would like to try this program to think seriously in purchase and upgrade my system.

If Otoy or another user can send me a link to de demo plugin, It will be great...

Thanks!

Many thanks for the fast response.

Well, now seems that Cinema dont see my GPU. Nothing appears on Settings/Devices

I have cinema R16 and a GTX550 ti.

I have the Nvidia 313.01.01f03 CUDA 6.5.14.

Strange thing is that the standalone version works. Is the version 2.23.2

Im using the demo scenes available for the 2.0 version of cinema.

What could happen?

Thanks

Plugins use same core with standalone so this version should be same with SA 2.25. gtx550 can be very old to be supported by this build. Can't remember well. Can you try with standalone 2.25?

Only older demo is this which i could find

Thanks aoktar.

Nothing seems to happen with this demo version 2.24.1 R3... live viewer appears in black, and no devices found...

I've updated to 10.8.5 and CUDA driver to 6.5.51

Also nvidia drivers to 8.17.74, but nothing...

Were I can find SA 2.25?
