Inquiry about Sonoma M1 Mac Support and C4D Plugin Beta

levis19 · Wed Nov 29, 2023 4:34 am

Hello community,

I'm currently using C4D 2024 with Octane 2022.1.2-R4 on a Sonoma M1 Mac. However, I'm encountering an issue where I receive a "no GPU available" message. I'm curious if there's a beta version in development for the C4D plugin that supports Sonoma.
If anyone has information on upcoming releases or potential solutions, I'd greatly appreciate your insights.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hi,
you need to remove the installed c4doctane version and upgrade to 2023.1-R7 stable:

Trying to roll back to macOS Ventura or using an older version of Octane may temporarily resolve the "no GPU available" error. Or you should definitely upgrade to the latest stable version of the Octane plugin, as it may solve your GPU issues

Thanks for sharing—this is a known compatibility issue with Octane on Apple Silicon under Sonoma. Octane currently lacks full native GPU support for M1/M2 chips in this setup. Keep an eye on OTOY’s forums for beta updates; in the meantime, consider using the standalone Octane X app, which may offer better support on macOS.
