Hi Beppe, to clarify - does this version work on mac pro with AMD GPU? Or is it solely for new M1 machines. And if the latter, will it be coming to Mac Pros with AMD GPUs? And when can we expect this? Thank you

Hey, link doesn't work

Hi, with all these versions I'm a bit confused.

I am still on Big Sur (Intel with egpu RX 6900XT), so for me there is now only PR11.
If I upgrade to Monterey, I can use PR14 with C4D (R23) plugin?
And what's up with PR13?
Is it wise to upgrade now or better to keep my current setup?

Thanks!

Olav

Hi Olav,
yes, if you upgrade to Monterey, you need to install OctaneX PR14, PR11 is only for Big Sur.
PR13 is fior Monterey too, but it has an issue with AI Denoiser and AMD GPUs, so better to go directly to PR14.

But please, firstly try to install Monterey on another partition or ssd, Apple Metal driver in Monterey is quite picky, and not all the AMD RX 6900 XT GPUs are recognized for rendering.

ciao,
Beppe

Ok many thanks for your advise Beppe!
I’ll give it a testrun first.

Any info/ETA on the plugin for S26 (Monterey) M1 native?

cheers,
Tobias

Beppe, Jay & Co.
It might be useful and save a lot of questions if you guys make a little chart with the various OSes, hardware, and Octane combinations, showing which work and which don't. I realize that's a lot to ask for the entire line of Octane plugins, but basic Octane Render compatibility would be tremendously useful and save a lot of chatter.

Hi Frank,
ok, here it is:

Hi Beppe,
You also should mention that 2022.1 XB 1 only works correctly on MacOS12 and Apple GPUs.

is there a macOS C4D plugin compatible w/ 2022.1 available ?
