Known Issues
- On rare occasions, clicking the Octane Override in the Shader Tree stops selecting the workspace for that Octane material. If this occurs, pls let me know the steps you took prior to that

I have refreshed the update installer with 1.33.0.47. Pls refer to the Window TEST thread for the change log.

Thank you very much for making this plugin for mac available so quickly after you released the Windows version. I am very keen to incorporate Octanerender into my workflow and I thought that the mac version would only become available late in the year.

I just found an issue with the above installer, which is now rectified, and re-uploaded. So if you have already downloaded the above version, pls re-download and install it.

Thanks

Is it safe to use this with the 1.5 Standalone?

Yes.

In case of a dual boot machine, if I've two licenses of octane standalone, can I use the same license for modo, for both windows and osx? Thank you for your work!!

That is a very good question, and I'm not sure the answer. I haven't actually tried running the same license on my dual boot Win/Mac PC - I'll try tomorrow.

EDIT: Would a single license of Standalone work in this instance? If Standalone required two licenses, the plugin probably will too - but I'll check to be certain.

When I boot into Windows on my Mac, I need to deactivate both the Standalone and plugin on OTOY's website before I can activate and use them in Windows.

I have an Octane 1.50 version of the plugin available, however there is an issue which is preventing it from working correctly, so I have deferred the release (which matches the Windows version just released) until I have a resolution. I will post here when I have more info.
