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

[bepeg4d]

Hi cgdoc,
great, thanks for sharing the rendering time!
So roughly, AMD Radeon Pro 455 2GB should score ~25 in OctaneBench, I guess

Happy Mac GPU Rendering,
ciao Beppe

Is the next release of the C4D plugin waiting for macOS 11.1? Feels like we're continually waiting for one thing or the other...

waiting for PR7 Big Sur SDK with experimental M1 support.

Any idea of ETA? I still can't render sequences with current build.

Why you can't? It's build on 2020.1.5 plugin core, related parts should be stable

I mentioned this in C4D Bug Reports viewtopic.php?f=86&t=76396), and shared information and a video with bepeg4d. It's a Mac Pro with dual RX 5700XTs: when rendering to the Picture Viewer it only gets one or two frames in before stalling, and just endlessly updates but never renders. The system worked fine in Catalina.

I just upgraded to Big Sur 11.1 and was having problems w/ OctaneX PR5.
Has anyone else upgraded and still functional w/ PR5?

I JUST upgraded to Big Sur 11.0.1 and having PR5 in my plugins folder automatically crashes my C4D (R21) as soon as the "initializing plugins" dialogue appears. I can't even get past that loading screen.

Updating to 11.1 to see if it fixes the problem. I'd love some help or a fix when possible, as I updated to Big Sur purely for PR5, as I didn't realize PR6 was out. Needed Vectron, now I can't use c4doctane at all.

No, it crashes constantly – and it also wouldn't recognise my license even though it was fine before the update. I've just cancelled my Studio subscription until this shit gets sorted out.

I strongly suggest that you all get on the Octane Discord server - 11.1 breaks PR5 and everything before it, you will have to wait for PR7 (which is apparently coming very soon) and will have support for M1.
