Great stuff! I wanted to try this new ray step increase factor thing, but could not find it. Where can I enable this?


the "Ray Step Increase Factor" is normally in the interval [0, 1], which will map to 0% to 100% as shown in the GUI.
You can find this "Ray Step Increase Factor" setting within ...

yes. in 2024, 100% means using 1 as the step length, because if you scene was stored in 2023 format, octane will run in 2023 compatible mode.
in this mode, 100% means 1(the absolute step length).

Thank you! I was talking with a people from Reddit and seems like I found the problem today.
So I was using VDB that I made in Embergen. Previously we have an option called "Volume Step Length" that was absolute as I understand. Now it's "Volume step percent" that as I understand is relative ...

can you please share some test scene and let me have a check?

Thanks

Hey Zay,

I checked your scene uploaded and another even more complicated scene using upsampler 2x and 4x.
none of them crashed on my Win 10 machine.

It seems to be a Win 7 specific crash.

I have to find out a machine with Win 7 and take a look there

AI up-sampling still fails on win7 for me. It will render to the end and then all GPUs fail.

Actually I am finding that with Up-Sampling enabled, I can't use any passes, Octane becomes unstable and either sends GPUs to orange, where I have to restart the scene, but then it goes orange again as soon as I try to render with passes, or just outright crashes like it does when saving an EXR or ...

Hey Notusweb,

Can you please share me that scene and let me do a debug?

Thanks a lot

Here is my running wishlist from this XB2:
1 - 1.5x1.5 up sampling (as 3rd up-sampling option)
2 - bigger (or size-customizable) GPU list display-area in device preferences

I am working on a code refinement and eventually remove the dependence between upsampling and subsampling.
and when that ...
