also just found the answer. One of my gpus is rendering at 2 samples per second and the other is doing 70. Any fix for this? lol my life.



RE UPDATE: after restart everything is fine. If i mess with the gpu settings in the render settings panel it all goes to hell

Hey so I assume some of you have noticed how when you render something it takes longer and longer to update the samples in order to save time or whatever. My problem is that right now its treating a fresh render like an old one. So I have a cube, change to rendered mode and it sticks on 1 sample for ...

How many polygons/triangles are there in the scene?
The more complex the scene the longer it takes to upload the data to the server, compile the scene and start rendering.
If you getting up to about 5million triangles this is probably the expected time.
1,088,992 verts
1,110,523 faces
2,218,645 ...

I asked a previous question and was answered excellently about setting objects that were instances to scatter, but i cant seem to find the answer to this one. The problem occurs in a scene that has a fair amount of detail in it. It is a really simple scene with 4 tires that i sketched up with the ...

I cant seem to get it to work for me, any ideas? I downloaded your example too. All I get is a white sphere

Thanks for this, and am currently trying to work with displacements. Are they not supported in blender. All i manage to get is a black surface.

I don't know if it's the reason for your issue, but do not put the cards in sli mode when using Octane. Octane doesn't need it to be on and it can cause issues. What are you using your particles for? And do you have the mesh set to "scatter"?

Thank you so much sir, scatter seems to have ...

This usually happens when you haven't logged in correctly. Make sure the Octane render server is running and you have entered your credentials correctly.

The cards aren't currently in SLI mode. The scene is a ton of small circle that flow around and become some text. I don't think i tried putting it in scatter. I will defiantly give that a try tomorrow when I am on.

Thanks for the tips.
Chris.

Hey thanks for the quick reply.

I have two 780s in sli working on the project. What it is working with molecules that emit from a cube all at the same time so the cube becomes a solid particle. When i start with very few particles (like 50) it works like normal, but as I add more and more it ...
