OTOY Forums

Hi,

I updated my NVidia driver, the OctaneRender and the Octane Carrara plugin, from 416.94 / 4.00 / 4.00.00.04 to 419.17 / 4.02.10 / 4.02.00.06

Since then I have 2 problems:

1) It seems to be the same problem as thedogsbollex above: "Compiling..." is displayed but briefly, and the rendering won't start. The render windows opens as usual, all seems to work fine, except no compiling/rendering. The sample # displayed at the bottom left of the windows is stuck at 0/1 no matter which setting I put in the octane render target window.

2) surfaces with a shader which is a "pure" octane material ("shader" part set to None) are now invisible in the assemble room if the display mode is set to "Textured". If there's something in the shader part, display is always black (except if it's a standard Carrara shader).


Both problems occur whether it is an existing scene (where all worked fine a few minutes before the updates), or a new scene.


Other informations:
- Carrara 8.5.1 Pro Build 19 64b
- Windows 10 64b Pro v1803
- Core i7-6900K
- 32 GB RAM
- 2 x Titan X 12GB (Maxwell)

Looks like there are still driver issues with the latest NVidia drivers. I can confirm that 419.17 does not work.
I can also confirm that 417.1 does work.

See this topic for help on reverting your drivers: viewtopic.php?f=79&t=70578

I installed nvidia driver 417.71 (I had the 419.17).

I just installed it as I would a newer one. No problem at all.

I kept the Octane render and plugin version I had installed.

So far, all seems to work now.


Thanks.

A new update has been posted at the top of this thread.

I have tried this version and it seems to work properly with the latest NVidia drivers (419.17 or higher).

I've the latest plugin installed 402.01.07 the glow function works again for lights didnt before, the problem is when plugin is installed modifier tabs, atmosphere tabes wont drop down they do when its not installed?
Nvidia driver-417.71
Windows 10 pro 64bit
16gb ram
Asus sabretooth 990fx r2.0

This works well, a good version, glow material now works in the multi channel shader , the problem i had with dropdown mens not working full screen works when carrara is half screened, this is down to doing a clean install of graphics driver where you lose screen settings , created a profile with "nvidia profile inspector" so i can install new graphics driver then apply settings.

I am glad you sorted it out because I did’t really have an answer for you. Well done.

apparently the 425.31 driver also breaks Octane 4
but my DAZ studio beta iray won't work without it
so have to choose between Carrara with 4 or DAZ studio with iray
using my Octane render 2 for Carrara for now as 3 won't work either but hopefully something gets resolved by Nvidia or Otoy

admitted defeat, reinstalled 417 and have Octane render 4 working again,
rolled back My DAZ studio beta build, will hang on to that old zip from my DIM download for future updates if I ever do any DS is only my Carrara plugin for duf stuff

I have not tried on Windows 7 but everything seems to work fine on Windows 10.
I have just installed Nvidia 425.31 and I can render using Carrara Plugin 4.02.1.07 as well as DAZ Studio 4.10.0.123 IRay and Octane for DazStudio 4.02.01.44.
