Octane Memory Management problem

Hi
Apologies for posting this again (I posted originally on the Mac section but didn't seem to get much response) so I'm posting it here again to check if this is actually a Mac issue or an issue with Octane in general.
I've attached a short video to highlight the problem. The video was made using ...

Re: Mac + eGPU

One thing I'm curious about is running another eGPU on my 2nd Thunderbolt 2 port. I don't see why this would not be doable for Octane rendering. If I get the cash saved up, maybe I'll give that a shot.


:) DO IT . it works perfectly well. My setup is one RM850 PSU, 2 Titan Black, 2 AKiTiO both ...

Re: Is it possible to render light Cones (Volumetric lighting)?

Hi Fooze
Thanks so much for the orbx file - it has helped a lot in trying to understand what you did. Here's an image thats starting to give the effect I'm looking for using your file. however theres a lot of grain so I think it will need some fine tuning. I also need to front-light the object too ...

Re: Is it possible to render light Cones (Volumetric lighting)?

Here's a simple test I did. The sphere and the spaceship are within the fog material (the camera is outside it and the scene is lit by an HDRI) image. I would have expected there to have been shadows cast by the two objects through the fog from the light above but all I can see is that fuzzy box!

Re: Is it possible to render light Cones (Volumetric lighting)?

Hi Thanks for the explanation fooze. Unfortunately I'm not sure I quite understand. I wanted to simulate a spotlight having light cone. So the light should start at a point and radiate outwards. I tried creating a box with a hole in it and the light source outside the box and a material with your ...

Is it possible to render light Cones (Volumetric lighting)?

Hi
As the title says, is it possible to achieve a light cone effect using Octane? I want to be able to put a light source behind a subject and have light rays emanating out from behind the subject through a dusty environment. I'm guessing this is to do with volumetric lighting so was wondering if ...

Re: Octane and Yosemite - not compatible ???!!!

Hi
I can verify that the demo version of Octane 2.06 works with the updated CUDA drivers BUT V1.55 does not work (it won't even start)
Otoy please can you comment on this thread - it looks like unless we have v2 or above, our Octane license is effectively useless if we upgrade to Yosemite. Is V1.55 ...

Re: Octane and Yosemite-not compatible???!!!

Some additional information for you. I downloaded the demo of Octane 2.06 and tried it with Yosemite. Although the application does start it can't find any Cuda cores and hence nothing renders
so in summary
Octane 1.55 - application doesn't even start
Octane 2.06 (Demo) - No CUDA cores found

Can ...
