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

[aoktar]

is there a macOS C4D plugin compatible w/ 2022.1 available ?

Not yet, working on to make it happens

[Senshi]

In the Blender build I seem to be missing a few nodes. I was looking for the Channel Mapper and found I don't see any of the channel ones, nor the Ray Switch. Any idea? (Also, the selection issue is still a huge pain in the butt)

[3dworks]

Just a short question: is the chaos node still missing in PR14 or was this feature renamed/removed in the last octane versions? I'm still stuck at version 2020 on CUDA mac side, so I didn't follow all developments for 2021/22 versions.

@Senshi and 3dworks,
PR14 is still based on 2020.1.5 SDK, so a lot of new features added to 2020.2 and 2021.1 are still missing, you need to use alternative OSL solutions:

• for RaySwitch: viewtopic.php?f=87&t=67849&hilit=raytype#p340123
• for Chaos node: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=79536&p=411057&hili ... sl#p410913

ciao,

Is there way to be a beta tester for 2022?

Are there any updates on the Metal version with cross-platform Network/Render-Node support? I am struggling here..

I'm having issues with Octane X PR14 on my Macbook M1 Max.
I installed a separate version of Cinema 4D R25 and run it through Rosetta and getting this error when I try to start the render view:

Code: Select all

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Is colour management feature going to be implemented soon so that ACES can be used in Octane X on macbook for cinema4d? I'm thrilled octane is working on my M1 macbook but without ACES it's basically useless to me
