yea, it's not heavy scene, only about 3gb vram are used.

houdini gives this error:

*** OCTANE API ERROR: CUDA error (700) on device 0: an illegal memory access was encountered
*** OCTANE API ERROR: -> failed to launch kernel(kernel37)
*** OCTANE API ERROR: device 0: path tracing kernel ...

getting an error telling that i ran out of GPU memory when using curvature node while using texture displacement.
is this a known bug/limitation?


Heyo!
I am not aware of a bug like this - but I will have a look here in a bit.
Does this happen when your ram is still very empty?
Are there any ...

Heyo!
I'm curious - are you still experiencing this issue now?

Heyo!
Sorry for the delayed response!

We fixed the render restart issue.
Also regarding the black post pass - this is a core bug when the analytic light is set to 180 degrees. Lowering this value fixes the issue.
We have changed the defaults since to match the SA defaults.

Opened a ticket!

Hi! Very nice release, so far so good!
I would like to suggest kinda of a "fix", when "Valid Frame Range" on Octane Render Setup node is set to "Render Current Frame" "Start/End/Inc" should be greyed out, this way it's more clear that you've set this option. And it's also default throughout ...

I think the spotlight geometry should be like this otherwise the tube moves when you adjust the height.

This is a good suggestion - will add this!

Just for anyone on windows having a problem with installing using the new packages meathod when your Documents folder is not in the default location... in my case i have OneDrive installed to automatically back everything up.

Stick the downloaded Octane folder where you would normally put it ...
