maybe this is by design but it actually annoyed the hell out of me just now.
i could not render in cycles anymore on gpu. taskmanager was displaying 90% out of 11gb used with nothing else running.
turns out octaneserver was using some 8+gb running in background doing nothing. probably left over by a previous session and for some reason did not purge.
with the advent of cyclesx and UE4 inching closer to realism, i honestly look forward to leaving this all behind.
if the permanent license was still on, i could probably justify having octane in the toolbox.
with the rental however, i just feel like fool for paying for software i cant use and that keeps aggravating me each step of the way.
my experience in blender was a nightmare, as i have documented past years+.
roll on august.
