Good to know you are serious about the Mac version JimStar. Personally for me though there is no big rush; I'm still trying to learn Blender

What amount of Octane users use OSX at all, and what amount among these users are smart enough to assemble their own Hackintosh?..
So, I will anyway code the Mac version, just a little later, as there are things to do with higher priority (and with much higher user-base who wait for it) at this time...
But don't worry: I have the Mac version in plans.

Acceptable causes. But. Is any reason for a usable network solution? Rather than doing a workstation that I use Windows. All my fav tools on OSX.

Thanks A

Sorry, I've not got what you mean... What for "network solution" you think can help you run special Octane version of Blender and Mac version of OctaneServer in OSX?..

When I rarely need to do something in Win right from my MacBook - I just start "Jump Desktop" utility to enter into remote VNC session on my Windows computer, and use Octane for Blender or any other Windows stuff right from Mac... It's a variant of "network solution" too..

Soory my english +gtranslate= disaster.

I mean acces octane server over network. Eg. Octane server runs on a linux based pc and we acces it from a mac/hack over network.

But anyway in this case you have to have Octane edition of Blender built for OSX.

Yes but I thought its a bit less work than make integrated + octane server. Or not? Im not a dev people. Blender on OSX is totally different than the Linux/Win one?

Hi Jimstar,

is there any planned beta release for O4B on OSX?

I don't plan to use windows, just because of one software, but at the same time i want to use Octane?

Any suggestions, how to do that till the OSX version out... how is this VNC thing works?

And if i purchase the windows or linux version of the plugin... can i later switch the license to the mac version?

Thanks for your help!
