This version runs on Poser9/PoserPro2012 and Poser10/PoserPro2014, on Macintosh OS X Lion & Mountain Lion. It may run on Snow Leopard.

Oh shit - and yeah it is out!

but i run my mac pro 12 core on snow leopard - and i know that many professional will stay on snow because of stability and problems with plugins in some professional programms like final cut studio pro 7 etc.

maybe i try lion on my old power mac - i will see.

so your plugin will never be for snow leopard?

cheers

so your plugin will never be for snow leopard?

I have ML, which only runs XCode 4 (not XCode 3.2.6). With XCode 4 I can only find the option to compile for 10.7 or 10.8. There is no option for 10.6 (SL). So the issue is that I cannot compile the plugin to run on 10.6. The only option would be if I do away with ML and install SL. Then I could run XCode 3.2.6, however then I wouldn't be able to compile some of the other plugins that require XCode 4 (since XCode4 doesn't run on SL).

Hope that makes sense and that you can see my dilema.

Otoy have provided a new OSX build of the API, which appears to fix the issues from 1.20. I have also been able to (hopefully) compile the plugin so that it will run on Snow Leopard. Would appreciate OSX users giving the new version a try.

Cool, will be testing this in my hackintosh (ML/win7), every single version of this plugin lag badly in OSX, but in windows 7 run just fine.

I have updated the installer at the top of this thread with the latest Octane libraries and latest Poser plugin code. All working well on my Mac, but it would be great if someone could confirm that on their system pls.

Also, I have uploaded a demo version of the OSX plugin at HERE

I have updated the installer at the top of this thread with 1.20.2.7 - to match the functional of the Windows version. Also added is a fix to make the Viewport always on top of the Poser window.

This thread has been marked OBSOLETE - replaced with the Octane 1.5 build of the plugin available at http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=38937.
