Hi! I'm using Octane with c4d and a 2019 macbook pro, and it keeps crashing/won't render (says it's run out of memory), and objects/materials keep disappearing. You can forget about textures/substances they don't work at all. I'm running Big Sur AMD Radeon Pro 5300M 4 GB Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 My question is this- I've purchased an egpu (radeon pro 5500 4gb)- and I'm hoping this will solve the problem- any thoughts on whether this will help it run smoother? I'm not planning on buying a PC (at least yet), and if octane doesn't improve with the egpu I'm planning on trying redshift... Thanks!

Every time I import an fbx into c4d (r25) the character with armature, weights etc is there but the baked animation is missing. I've exported it from blender, and ticked baked animation, and the import settings for c4d include import tracks. The dope sheet is empty, and nothing in f curve mode, and ive tried unhide all. Any help appreciated!
