I've had an email from Kitbash3D notifying me of their new Cargo asset manager software. To use it I have to sign in to Kitbash, but as far as I'm aware we don't have an account with them as Otoy users, we just get a redirect to the freebies from our Otoy account page. I don't want to set up a ...

Update,

I turned the monitors off, went to bed, woke up and the frame render time had dropped to 4m 40s - pretty much what I'd hoped to expect!

So what's happening? Why the initial high render times? Is just 'not using' the control PC causing some sort of rebalance?

I have a 64Gb system running Windows 10, with one 3080 Ti in it. I then have an external GPU rig (Amfeltec Corp) with two more 3080 Ti cards on.

I'm rendering a pretty hefty scene, and was finding the PC would stop rendering, either through a crash or just stop. Raising the out-of-core values to ...

To answer my own question. Windows 10 drivers don't seem to allow a 3080 Ti and a 2080 Ti to be seen on the same PC at the same time for me, so I've added the 3080 Ti to another box and using it via network rendering in Octane, which is working well.

I have a v4 licence and think that I need a subscription to use an RTX 3080 Ti?

I also know there is an issue with LW2019 and RTX 30xx cards (my copy just blinks out of existence when launching if I have the 3080 Ti
as my main internal GPU).

I currently have an external Amfeltec Multi GPU ...

Thanks guys.

Hi all,

I'm using 4.04 LightWave plugin and have just jumped from two 1080 Ti to three. I have also bought an Amfeltec Multi GPU Cluster to house the excess cards, but I am finding that any card installed on the Cluster is running about 50% slower than an internal card. A scene that an internal ...

Hi Juango,

Thanks for answering - perfect. Off to get my subscription then

Cheers!

I'm currently running Octane 4 with LightWave 2015.3 , happily, with two 1080Ti cards.

I also own LightWave 2018 and 2019, but haven't migrated to them yet for legacy reasons, and because Octane is my main renderer and it works as is.

Question 1:

What are my upgrade options?

I have a GPU rig on ...

I know I'm answering my own question, but I've found part of the problem - the denoiser is wiping the RGB channels for some reason. If I render without it then all is fine. If I render with it, I can see the render briefly, but then that is overwritten with all black in the preview window.

I'll ...
