OTOY Forums

I recently installed latest Octane Blender for macOS on my M1 Mac Mini (2021.1 -27.10 Stable).

How do we load the OCIO file to use ACES? The PC version has that in the plug-in preferences but I do not see it on the Mac version. No problem loading an OCIO file into Mac standalone though - ACES seems to work fine with Octane SA 2022.1 MacOS.

I do see an error message in the plug-in panel though and wonder if this might be the issue? No message appears in the console though. See attached image.

Same on Windows. I guess the devs have called 27.10 version "stable" too soon.

Yeah, they ship the 27.10 without even testing it, because this one is a realy easy visible issue, and as easy to fix as opening a file and save.

You can do it yourself with you really need OCIO, go to "BlenderOctane\3.4\scripts\addons\octane" folder, as i'm on windows i don't know how it works on macOS.

Open the properties.py file in a, good, text editor, do a copy before in case it messed up.

Go to the ligne 537 and add text= right after the first parenthesis.
The line should go from : box.row().label("Shared surface is not supported") to box.row().label(text="Shared surface is not supported")

Take care to not touch any other things or change the spacing before the line, save and load blender, it should work now. It looks like even if the UI is broken, it keep the previously added OCIO file if you had one.

Thanks! Seems like a nice easy fix.
