Facing the Nvidia price madness we are all forced into the question begs for alternatives: Is there a future planned for AMD with Octane or is this support program stopped entirely?

AMD Radeon GPU support? No, nor Intel GPU, unfortunately.

Hi,

Some time ago, OTOY created a version of OctaneRender for AMD, but it was necessary the full support from AMD for drivers, than never came, sadly.

ciao,

Hi Beppe
Long time

I am thinking of switching to OCTANE X Prime (free tier) PR14 as I am still running Monterrey and Cinema 4D r26. Not really using Octane lately so I'd like to save the subscription money.

If I get to need using both cards in the near future I could get my Studio subscription back.

I have downloaded C4D_OctaneX_Prime_PR14.zip

How should I proceed in order to install with from Studio PR14 to X_Prime_PR14?

Thanks,
ñgo

Hi,
nice to hear back from you!

No problem, just replace the PR14 Studio version with PR14 Prime version.

For C4D S26, you need to keep the R25.xdlib file, and remove the other .xdlib unused files.

Happy Mac GPU rendering!

ciao,
Beppe
