Thx Calus !!!
I had just found the VOLUME STEP LENGTH in the Volume Emission Editor....
sorry needs more practice !

Nevertheless, I did a rough test following Casey 's NAB presentation and it works fine

Hello

Have you checked Casey Hupkey NAB 2016 2nd presentation : at 21min he goes through the new Octane volume features with TFD.
he gets a pretty good result by using emission tex & volume gradient in the VOLUME MEDIUM attributes (as oaktar mentioned eralier)

Nevertheless, in Casey's demo, he ...

Thank U all for replies.
I get it better now.
This particular project scene is a good "case study" for my short experience with Octane.
The model is a Race bike which is loaded with tons of small parts that I have to render in a shot.
No matter what the geometry hiding tricks or simplification, I ...

Sorry for my brain shortcuts on the matter ;)

What you say is that what causes the failure is the low 3 Vram of the 780 Ti ?
I thought octane could "organize" power ressources from GPU !

To push this further, it means that if I have a big scene and use a PC with a 3GVRAM 780 Ti over Octane Render ...

Sorry : here is my hardware :

X99E-WS socket 2011-3
Titan X + GTX 780 Ti
Xeon E5-3GHZ
64 Go RAM DDR4,
4 PCIe 16x

Hello
I recently replaced a 780 Ti with a Titan X to be able to manage VRAM capacity.

On medium-size scenes, both cards work together fine in both the Live viewer and Final render.
But on a big scenes, I get this error message :

CUDA error 2 on device 1: The API was unable to allocate enough ...

Sorry for coming back so late to that post
I had made a "beginner's mistake" : I had not converted some Material & texture with Octane Tags.
Once it was done thorough , everything worked fine…
The kind f mistake u make only once

OK thx for info

I have to admit the amount of objects in my scene has gone out of hands !
I'll search for what is power consuming

take care

Hello
I've encountered "CUDA ERROR 700 on device 0" several times.. + "could not deallocate memory info"
I have turned on "OUT OF CORE" settings, but it crashed Octane & C4D

ANd I also have this : "Tried to access Null item" do you know what it means ?

Thx in advance

Hello

I am a beginner with Octane for C4D (2.16.2)
My render stops at frame 1. I have checked several times my Octane RENDER settings, checked the texture paths and re open my scene in a fresh new scene...nothing seems to work.
The LOG is full of what seems to be errors.
Has anybody encountered ...
