Interesting to see how well M1 Max scales with CPU+GPU while in the new Metal patch for Cycles adding CPU to GPU is useless.

Re: OCL broken on MacOS 12.1

Thanks @TAO, I didn't post in the dev thread because it was about building mainly. It's the same old story with Apple messing up their drivers leaving devs and users in despair. I've been testing further, standalone LuxCore.app 2.3 and 2.4 work with Cornell scene in PathOCL on M1 Mac, OS 12.1. Versi...

Here is a test version for all macOS users. I needed to manually permit several files but then Blender opened and rendered two different scenes. I'll keep it installed and report if a problem occurs. On MacBook Air M1, OS 12.0.1, Blender 2.93.5 Intel (Rosetta). Edit: There is one difference to the ...
