I also use Octane Blender but last time I tried could not get the Mac version of that working on the M1 Mac. No idea how the more recent M1 Pro and Max chips perform with Octane though. I only recently updated to Mac Monterey and have not given Octane X PR 13 much of a spin.Įven though it is excruciatingly slow rendering on the M1 Mac Mini the fact that I can do it at all is still pretty amazing. However, those were some of the earlier versions. Just opening and manipulating projects from my PC. I have not actually tried to do real work on it. My direct experience using Octane in M1 Mac Mini with 16 GB has been filled with glitches and crashes. I do think future Apple silicone and Octane eventually optimized for it will be exciting - especially when we get cross platform network rendering. I continue to invest in PC’s for serious Octane functionality and other PC boxes with NVIDIA cards for network rendering. Its been pretty useless for Octane but I did not really get it for that.
