Hi. You will need the latest Nvidia release to run recent versions of the plugin as per viewtopic.php?f=24&t=71406. I believe this version is the correct one -> https://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-cu ... river.html but it requires High Sierra (10.13).

I hope that helps.

Paul, thank you for your help. Sorry, I can't update to 10.13 for a number of reasons. I use sonnet egfx breakaway box, on 10.13 not everything works stably as on sierra 10.12. I also don't want to write off octane render 4. I've been studying old projects, and on octane render 3 this was not the case. But I can't go back to version 3 because I can't live without a noise canceller :D :D :D . I've noticed that it all depends on the focal length, when you activate the DOF, the point disappears, but when the camera animation doesn't always go well. So I create a locator for the camera and get a more accurate focus. The black dot's gone, and I'm happy :D
Thanks again for your help

I am sympathetic to the challenges of working with Mac OSX, so here is the installer you requested. https://render.otoy.com/customerdownloa ... X.mpkg.zip

I have updated the STABLE installers for the Octane Regular license plugin version at the top of this thread with:

4.04.0.143
- Compiled with Octane 4.04
- Implemented performance improvements when loading and updating scenes with large numbers of mesh items with Live Geometry Update on
- Changed the Preferences->Default Live Geometry Update from Off to On (given the above performance improvements)
- Changed the Preferences->Update on Mouse Button Release to Off
- Fixed crash when adding a camera or duplicating a camera when the Viewport was open
- Added "Viewport Refresh Interval" to the Preferences->Octane panel and set the default Viewport Refresh Interval to 30ms
- Re-arranged "Create Texture" menu items in the Schematic to match Octane Standalone

Thanks

Hey Paul,

do you have any informations when the rounded edge shader in Octane will work properly? I got very weird results especially with CAD models which consists of lot of triangles. Had weld vertices ticked...

All other features are working like a charm, very well done! I did'nt use Octane since I was part of the beta tester team. You have put a lot of work in there! I have finished a tight project in no time compared to using the MODO renderer.

Again, thumbs up! :D :D

Hi Rene, good to hear from you again! I don't know the answer to this, so you will have to pose your question to OTOY in the general Octane Standalone forums. Perhaps it is planned for Octane 2019.
