p.s. what exactly models You're using guys. it's intersting why system hasn't shut down itself too.

I have 3 Point of View 1,5 GB cards. My system actually kept going, with sparky sounds coming out of the psu... Turned it off immediately ofcourse ;)

Didn't mean to hijack the OP's thread, just ...

Yeah everything was hooked up properly, 3x 6+8 pin for the 580's. even extra molex connectors on the motherboard when using 4 gpu's (quadro for display with a 6 pin pcie cable). 2 pins on the 24 pin got burned, no overclock though...

Maybe it's too much for the psu... Got an add2psu adapter for a ...

I have three 580's and a similar thing happened to me...

The 24-pin connector of my motherboard (and also the connector on the 1200w psu) got fried. Took 5 months but got both replaced for free

Wonder if the 580 could be the culprit...

I too am very satisfied. However it used to heat up to 90 degrees when rendering and it was rather slow for the reason mentioned above. Took off the housing and installed watercooling, now it doesn't go over 40 degrees.
Then bought 580's for rendering and used the Quadro with nvidia's performance ...

A later release will support exporting all those positions from a modeling application.

The coordinates in a scatter node are given as the first three rows of the transformation matrices (the fourth is always [0, 0, 0, 1]).

For instance the matrix for a 30° rotation around the Z axis looks like ...

awesome news!!!

some great node you guys added!

playing with the scatter node now, but don't really grasp the idea of the transform window in the atribute editor.
what exactly is supposed to be written in there???

coordinates?

thanks, wasn't completely clear.

it says there is a 12 digit ...

Try turning off the aperture of the camera... Might help

I'll try out some configurations. Thanks for the advice!

Does the crash happen if you render with only one or two GPU's? If so the cards could be overheating or not getting enough power.

Im always rendering with the 3 580's. The power the entire system then uses under load is 800w, so that's ok with a 1200w psu.
The middle card ...
