Hi Roeland,

thank you for this tip. I shoulld have read the instructions in the download area more carefully. :lol:

With the cuda 3.0 build I get 76% and 97% gpu load, renders a bit faster now. :D (Rendertime went down from 08:09 to 05:49 minutes to get to 2048 s/p, the scene has 352964 faces, a ...

Hi Jaberwocky,

so you´d say this is more or less a limitation of the current version of octane rather than a wrong hardware configuration?

Ok,

as I already mentioned I changed my system configuration to just two 580s instead of adding an extra 550ti for display, to get the two 580s running in pci express 16x mode. Initally I did that because I never got octane to use more than 50% gpu load on any card. Now it seems a bit better, but ...

No no, it´s ok. I found it quiet funny too.

But I have another question concerning rendering performance, particularly gpu load. Should I create a new topic for this, or is it ok when I ask you right here?

Kind regards, Kai

Indeed, it might as well could have sayed: "Get it right, you dumb f..."
Thanks for your reply anyway

OMG ... now I saw it in the camera settings!
DAMN! I´m such an idiot!

The camera had IT SELF as depth of field target object ... now it works fine.

Yay, first ... in something! :D

there is a camera in the scene tracking an empty (both animated via keyframes). They are moving from one location key to the next including a little rotation of the target within 250 frames. Camera settings are 55 millimeters focal length, perspective mode, size 0.5 ...

Hello everyone,

I recently got my hands on octane and think it´s a great tool but I encountered a strange error message saying "Narcissic camera ... stop looking at yourself!", when I wanted to render a still image from within blender. I´m using blender 2.57.1 and the unofficial exporter 1.1.0 ...
