OTOY Forums

I'm running Houdini 19.0.498 and the most recent plugin available seems to crash when selecting any of the Octane menu options. The first attachement is from the released PR11 plugin and the last two are from the unreleased plugin linked in another darwin houdini 19 thread. my env file is:

`HOUDINI_PATH = "/Users/foo/Octane_OctaneX_PR13_Houdini_19.0.455_OSX_vr;&"`.

what's the status with octane houdini plugin support?

I needed to manually tell gatekeeper to let dylibs run from anywhere, are octane dylibs not registerd with Apple?

We are trying to resolve the problem that the current macOS SDK has with Houdini, that in fact is not working at all. The good news is that we are testing a new SDK including fixes that hopefully should resolve these problems, so I hope to know more about it soon.

Thanks for your patience,

Thanks for the reply. What's your time frame for a release-candidate for the new sdk? is there somewhere I could download unstable builds?

Sorry, I don't have an ETA yet.

The OctaneX PR14 Houdini plugin is already available, including plugin builds for the latest H18.5 and H19.0 production builds:

Hello - Excuse my ignorance on this but will current versions of Octane work with new apple silicon native Houdini when fully launched, and in particular on the new M1 ultra

I'm not sure if a new plugin build is going to be needed for the Houdini apple silicon version yet, but if needed of course we will provide it once this Houdini version has been released as a production build.

Hey juanjgon, and the original poster, sorry to ask here.
Octane pr14 work good on osx 12 and Houdini 19.0.589
finally I can do some stuff on my intel Mac ,
but im wondering that only MPlay ipr available, there its a way to activate the new one like you did on c4d, that's its more like the PC one.
MPlay its not good to keep the ipr window open, you can't stack over other windows etc
any chance?

Not in this build, sorry. The new Qt5 IPR window will be available in macOS in the upcoming Octane 2022.x version.

Thanks,

peace
