Cinema 4D 2024.2.0 on Mac M1 Pro (Sonoma 14.1.2) not detecting Octane plugin
Posted: Fri Jan 23, 2026 3:14 pm
Hello,
I’m running Cinema 4D 2024.2.0 on a Mac M1 Pro, macOS Sonoma 14.1.2, and I’m having an issue with Octane plugins.
No version of the plugin seems to be detected by Cinema 4D. I’ve tried:
- Multiple versions of the Octane plugin for C4D
- Standalone Octane X
- Both Cinema 4D 2024 and 2023
- Granting permissions via Terminal (xattr -cr)
Other plugins, such as Grayscale, work without issues.
Despite all attempts, Cinema 4D simply does not recognize the Octane plugin.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue with M1 Macs / Sonoma / C4D 2024.2, or could provide guidance on how to make Cinema detect the plugin?
Thank you in advance for any advice.
