that's strange. I just deleted the .dat file but my preferences still look the same. anything else I could try?
I'm on M1 and the latest macos beta (15.1).

Ah, ok, you need to wait for c4doctane 2024.1-Beta3 that should be released soon.

ciao,

I just did some tests. it's working in theory, but a bigger scene of mine absolutely refuses to render.
if I remove all textures it does start rendering but it is doing so incredibly slowly (0.15 Ms/sec).

anything I can do to help?

A fully detailed technical report would greatly help devs and users who would provide assistance, if possible.

Here's how, in case you need guidance: **** PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING BUG REPORTS ****

Trying to get this running on my M2 Studio Mac with Blender but the server zip (OctaneXPrime_for_OctaneServer_MacOS_2024.1-29.14-stable) unzips and app that is grey'd out and wont open/run. Running Sonoma 14.3.1 on my machine.

Any ideas what to do?

Anyone run into issues with the Planetary Environment with the new C4D_2024.1-R3_OSX? When paired with a - plain black RGBSpectrum - Textured Environment (set to Visible Environment), the Planetary Environment (set to Primary environment) completely blows out anything in the scene. Noticed this after updating to C4D 2025. Tried the same Octane version with C4D 2024 and same results.

Also, would be great if there is a resource for Planetary Environment especially how to use the surface textures.

Hi, thinking of getting this souped-up Mac mini:
Apple Mini M4 Pro
Apple Mini M4 Pro
I realise it's not been tested with Octane yet, but would anyone hazard a guess as to what the OctaneBench score might be?

Thanks
