The release is available for all Mac users, and is fully compatible with macOS Big Sur and Apple Silicon. Today, capping off a multi-year engineering effort, OTOY officially releases Octane X, making it available for download on the Mac App Store. Octane X PR1 was fully compatible with AMD Vega and Navi GPUs across the Mac Pro, iMac Pro, iMac and MacBook Pro product lines. Last summer, the Public Release version 1 of Octane X was released to Mac users running macOS Catalina, and brought the unbiased GPU renderer to millions of Macs powered by Apple’s Metal Graphics API. For years OctaneRender was only available on Nvidia-powered PCs, but Octane X for the Mac was first previewed at WWDC 2019. Launching way back in 2010, OctaneRender was the world’s first unbiased GPU renderer, and was able to create spectrally correct, realistic 3D imagery in a fraction of the time needed for CPU renderers. Octane X features full pixel parity with OctaneRender 2020, and later, bringing state of the art cinematic rendering natively to macOS for the very first time. It’s a big moment for 3D graphic artists who prefer Macs, as OTOY’s Octane X has publicly launched natively on the Mac, bringing unbiased rendering to all Macs that are capable of running macOS Big Sur.
