Octane X Mac Download Now Available in App Store

Otoy has announced that Octane X is now available for download from the Mac App Store. The CUDA edition of OctaneRender is available as both a perpetual license and via subscription, with paid Enterprise subscriptions costing $479.40 per year (approximately $570 per year). For Mac users, free one-year subscriptions are available under specific terms.

For those interested in installing Octane X properly, I recommend watching my video tutorial to ensure a smooth installation process. The plug-in is also available for free and does not require an Octane subscription to use, as it is currently an experimental build. However, please note that the plug-in only works on M1 Macs running Monterey and is not compatible with macOS Ventura or machines with AMD cards.

The plug-in should be thought of as a separate entity from the Standalone version, providing UI features for creating projects in Cinema4D using Octane. It is not the app to use with Cinema4D, and the Standalone cannot connect to it in any way.

According to Otoy, they built Octane X from scratch for Mac, optimizing it for Apple's Metal graphics. The app also enables network rendering (for multiple machines to render the same project).

For those interested in downloading Octane X, you can find PR11 for Apple M1 on their official website. The App Store version is the Octane Standalone, which allows users to render and view ORBX files, change settings before exporting, and more.

Octane X is considered the world's first and fastest unbiased, spectrally-correct GPU renderer. With its availability in the Mac App Store, creative professionals can now take advantage of its powerful features on their Macs.

For those who are short on time, you can also download Octane X Classic for macOS 12.0 or later from the official website and start enjoying it on your Mac right away.
