Hello all,
We are running Lua scripts to create large render image sets that can take days to complete.

Hello again,
The prototype script shown below seems to work fine... some of the time.
It runs to completion on another machine with a single titan X card.

We built a new machine with 4 Titan X cards.
The script renders from 5000-9000 frames and it crashes the machine.
images are roughly 512 ...

Thanks for your quick response.


I've tried this:

local matrix = { { 1, 0, 0.33, 0 }, { 0, 1, 0.66, 0 }, { 0, 0, 1, 0 } }

myScatterNode:setAttribute(octane.A_TRANSFORMS,{matrix})


I get this error on the last ...

I am evaluating Octane currently for a new project.

I need to create a script to change the shear coefficients in a Scatter node in a very precise way.

I will be producing a large number of frames for the production of light field holograms.
My script will need to change the shear elements for ...
