Black Screen Renders in Octane C4DR14 Demo

Hi there,

After successfully installing the Octane demo on C4d r14, the Octane render engine (including the live view window) doesn't render the image.

Just a black screen. I've tried adding lights, rendering to picture viewer, tweaking render settings. It simply doesn't show the image.

All the necessary view panels show up, it prompts 'rendering' in the status, but I get no image.

I'm currently using a mid-2010 Imac on OSX Yosemite with a 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3 and a ATI Radeon HD 5670 graphics card (512 mb)

Not sure if this is a hardware issue, or if I've installed the wrong cuda drivers (7.5 driver and 7.5 cuda)

I've never had a problem with this computer, and according to nvidia, it should run fine.

Hope anyone can help! :D :D

Hey man!

I am under the impression that the demo for Octane only runs on Nvidia Cuda Technology. I believe Octane 3 will be openCL, but the demo is an older version without compatibility with AMD Graphics Processing Units.

OR v3.1 only will support AMD Radeon, sorry. ;)
