Hi all!

It has been a while since I wrote to these forums. I hope that I will have time to create some art with Octane this summer; I've just been busy with other stuff lately.

Here are three renders to test the different kernels, each 8000 samples/px. Other settings can be seen from the ...

A little test with light emitting globes placed inside larger glass ovals. Took a while to render with Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 as the original resolution was 5120 x 3200 px (2k samples/px).

Can you tell me where you read this information ? any link ?

You probably want to read this, Radiance:

Theoretically GTX 460 could be faster than GTX 470 in CUDA calculations, but reaching that theoretical maximum speed seems to be extremely ...

3 new 2gb 460 cards out there Palit, Gainward and Sparkle !!

Yep, they are the best available cards for Octane Render: quite cheap, lots of memory, almost as fast as GTX 470 after 2.3 intermediate fixes the problem that some cores were not used.

overclocks from stock 675 core to 925MHZ

One line of code to detect if the maximum warp size is 32 or 48?

This is the new GF104 with superscalar architecture, but only 224 of the 336 cores are used according to the device manager.

Nvidia's GF100-series had 32 CUDA-cores per Streaming Multiprocessor (SM), the new GF104 has 48 CUDA-cores per SM. It is entirely possible, that a software coded for the ...

You can be sure that blender will be supported much more by Octane with Brecht!
Would be nice to see some Blender to Octane hair and particle renderings :P

My 3D-projects have been on hold, as I have been waiting for three major things:

1) Octane MLT rendering - without it, rendering some scenes ...

when you open the turntable setting window ,set everything and hit render you cant minimize the octane window to let it render in the backround

Yeah, that is really annoying. As a temporary solution, I made Octane window as small as possible, moved turntable pop-up over the small Octane window ...

If you have 4 GPU's,you can render it at 2048x1024

Hmm if divided, it will be more like you can render it 4 times the size with given example ??

2048x1024 has 4x pixels compared to 1024x512.

Besides that, another great advantage of 2.1 is that when rendering with more than 1 GPU, you can render at higher resolutions.

Is 4096 x 4096 still the hard upper limit of resolution?

Beta 2.2 will have both MLT and automatic video sequence rendering? Once that version is released, Octane is ...
