Pls use "generate log report" and send the file to me

I've got problems with the Denoise function in PR7 (see bug report viewtopic.php?f=86&t=76579). Can anyone else with a 2019 Mac Pro replicate these issues? Or is it just me? I'm running dual RX5700XTs.

Yes confirmed, there is an issue with AI Denoiser and PR7 on Big Sur 11.1:

Great (glad it's not just me). How long for a fix do you think?

I am seeing an issue when adding a metallic texture to a Universal material. The viewport displays artifacts on the model, or loses shading information entirely.

It should be easy to repeat:

- Add a Cube primitive
- Assign a metallic texture to it.

This is using PR7 Studio on an M1 Mac, with the 11.1 update to Big Sur.

Hey there, I'd love to help make Octane X better on MacBooks and iMac Pro.

Who do I need to talk to for the following two feature requests for Mac node editor:

- proper pan / zoom gesture support for trackpad in Node Editor
- using backspace key to delete a node instead of FN + Backspace

Thank you!!

Sorry I got caught up playing with the thing. Is it too late to generate the log for you.

I just had another crash so I attached a new log. So I was just playing around with material settings and it crashed. This is the first one since my original comment though. Hope that helps.

Anyone else has this?

Hi,
can you share a screenshot of the entire interface?
