Hi! When to expect native M1 version for C4D?
Please don't suggest Standalone.

Hey Beppe! I just got a monterey Macbook and when I install octane it doesn't have the color management tab, so I can't use OCIO. Is that normal? I'm a PC guy so I don't know much about Macs, but I desperatly need to have it working for a new studio. Thank you in advance!

Is there something I can do about all the crashes I get (Macbook Pro M1 Max)?
I have now tried to downloaded the newest version and there is no installations instruction to find for the newest M1 Macs.
Shall I have to do the following commands to override the system?

sudo spctl –master-disable
sudo spctl –master-enable

@Tomi:
sorry, OctaneX is still based on 2020.1.5 SDK, with some addictions, while OCIO/ACES support has been added in 2020.2 SDK, in the CUDA version.
We need to wait for the next upcoming 2022.1 SDK update, to have an OctaneX version based on the same SDK as CUDA, to be able to have OCIO/ACES under macOs Metal versions too.

@haffy:
OctaneX/M1 chip support is still working under Rosetta 2 for plugins in Big Sur and Monterey, at the moment.

Only OctaneX Standalone is native for M1 chip for now, native plugins are going to arrive with 2022.1 SDK too.

So you should need to have two versions of C4D installed, one for native plugins like RedShift, and another one in Rosetta mode for c4doctaneX and any other plugin not in native mode for M1 chip.

Please, select the Cinema 4D.app, press Command+I, to get the Info panel, and enable the Open using Rosetta option:


Please download and install C4D-OctaneX-PR14.

You need to create the plugins folder inside the c4d R2X directory in lower case.
The installation paths for Mac is:

- HD\Applications\Maxon Cinema 4D R2X\plugins\c4doctane (You have to create the plugins folder in lower case!)

Then you need to copy the uncompressed c4doctane folder inside the plugins folder

Note that you always need to remove from the c4doctane folder, all the unnecessary c4doctane-R2X.xdlib files not related with R2X specific version, and leave only one c4doctane-R2X.xdlib file in ../plugins/c4doctane directory.

You also need to allow the c4doctane plugin and library in System Preferences/Security and Privacy panel, and restart C4D a couple of times.

Thanks Beppe !

Anyone having problems with denser not working on macOS 12.3.1 and AMD cards? It constantly crashed after this os update.

Having an issue selecting in viewport display. It will select under the object, about an inch below. Only in object mode. Edit mode seems fine. Is any one having this issue? Is there a way to resolve? I'm running OS Monterey.

@rasmusb: AI Denoiser is working with no issues here, with OctaneX PR14 and AMD GPUs/Intel CPU, under macOS 12.3.1: @elraylo: sorry, can you share a screenshot?

@bepeg4d any updates on the next PR release or 2022 SDK status? Should we just expect silence until WWDC? PR14 is okay-ish but it still crashes too often and I'm missing some of the 2021 features from my PC version. Thanks
