Cinema 4D - OctaneX PR11/PR14 builds(Updated on 22.04.2022)

@bepeg4d: thanx for the info.
But it does not help me. If I run C4D R25 in Rosetta, it will crash because the Insydium plugins won't run in Rosetta.
Quite a pain to set up a flexible workflow...
So I guess I will stick to Redshift on my Macbook Pro M1 MAX.

Unfortunately yes, you should need to have two versions of C4D installed, one for native plugins like RedShift/X-particles, and another one in Rosetta mode for c4doctaneX and any other plugin not in native mode for M1 chip.

ciao,

@Beppe thanks for all the answers! Looking forward to trying it again. When do we expect Octane plugin to work natively for M1? Thanks so much

[bepeg4d]

You are welcome

We are expecting to have the first M1 native version for plugins with the upcoming new 2022.1 SDK:

Any support for S26?

@3dworks: please note that AMD 580 is a Polaris GPU, but AMD Polaris and Intel GPUs are not supported anymore in new OctaneX PR12/13 for macOS 12 Monterey - there were some Apple Metal driver related issues.

So you need to stay with Big Sur and OctaneX PR11.

ciao,
Beppe

thanks for the heads-up. in the meantime i switched to monterey (running in my macpro 5,1 under opencore) + AMD 5700. PR14 is running well! looking forward to 2022 version now.

[3dworks]

another question about upcoming native plugin with M1 support. will this still work with cinema R21?

Any support for S26?

Updated the links. R25 build will work in Cinema 4D R26.

[atoyuser1]

Great, thanks

[bepeg4d]

Any support for S26?

Updated the links. R25 build will work in Cinema 4D R26.

The R25 build works well in R26 with AMD GPUs, thanks Ahmet

Unfortunately this solution doesn't work with Apple Silicon M1
If Rosetta mode is enabled, R26 crashes at startup, after click "reopen", plugin is not loaded.

We need to wait for the upcoming 2022.1 SDK, to have R26 on M1

ciao,
Beppe
