OctaneRender 4 for Modo [OBSOLETE]

This is the recommended thread for downloading, and posting any questions, suggestions or support queries for OctaneRender 4 for Modo - TEST and STABLE release.

Modo Version
Windows : Modo11, Modo12 and Modo13 on Window Vista, 7, 8 or 10 64bit
OSX : Modo11, Modo12 and Modo13 on Macintosh OS X 64bit El Capitan onwards
Linux : Modo11, Modo12 and Modo13 on 64bit Linux

License upgrade
Unless you have a subscription license, you will have to upgrade your version 3 licenses to version 4. This upgrade is free and can be done via these 4 steps:

To use this version, you need a GPU of compute model 3.0 or higher. Support for Fermi GPUs (like GTX 4xx and 5xx) has been dropped. Also make sure you use a driver of version 387 or higher and if you are working on Mac OS that have a CUDA driver installed that supports at least CUDA 9.1.

Network Rendering
For Network Rendering, you must use the Octane slave release from the Octane Standalone installer which matches the exact Octane version of the plugin you are using. This version matches OctaneRender Standalone 4.00.

Support Issues
If you have a support issue, pls provide the following information:
- Modo version
- OctaneRender for Modo version (ie. 2.0.10.16)
- Operating System (ie. Win XP, Vista, 7, 8)
- Amount of RAM
- Graphics Card(s) - model (ie. GTX 580, 3GB)
- Nvidia driver version

Prior to reporting issues, please try Modo->System->Open User Folder->Shutdown Modo->then delete the MODO[version].CFG file and restart Modo.

The most important part of resolving a problem is me being able to re-produce that problem. So pls provide as much detail as possible in order for me to do this, and if the problem is specific to the scene, send me the scene.

A Modo Shader Tree "Vertex Map Texture" can also be added to the Schematic and plug the vmap channel into the "Name" pin of the Octane Vertex Attribute node.
- Added the 2018.1 Vectron geometry item. To use this, click the Modo Mesh item "Add Mesh to Schematic" button.

Sorry, Modo902 is no longer supported. You need Modo10 or later.

(posted in another topic.)

I have released the Octane standalone license for the pending update to Octane 4 release and my account shows that the standalone license is deactivated, but the plugin is still showing active on my machine.
I was running a version of Octane 3.08.1 standalone and its plugin and Octane 4 RC7 and the associated plugin under Modo 12.2v1.
I have restarted the PC and relogged into my account and it still shows active.
I have uninstalled both plugins and the Octane 4 RC7 now, but my account still shows the plugin as active. Octane 3.08 is still installed, (no plugin) but the standalone version seems ok as it is available.

Do I have to use an unlock the plugin, or should I just upgrade to Octane v4. It is only due to the warning to deactivate prior to undating an existing v3 license that I post this.

I don't know for sure, sorry. I suggest installing the V4 version of the plugin, start Modo, then close Modo, and see if it releases the license. Otherwise contact OTOY via the Support option at the top of this page, or use a "release" from your account page.

Yeah I tried re-installing the plugin Paul, it didn't work. Still showed active. I used an unlock to free it up.. I've still got a fair few so, shouldn't be a problem, hopefully.
If it happens again I'll contact support as there must be something inherent I'm doing wrong.
I've never had any issues before with activating and using licenses, plugin or standalone over all the time I've used Octane and I've had to re-install after computer and system crashes heaps of times.
I posted here and in the other post as it seemed that there was an issue with the Plugin prior to 4 that was reported as fixed for this issue.
Anyway thanks for the reply.

Upgraded to the latest Octane 4.

I Had to re-render a scene made previously with octane 3. With Octane 4 there's always the error

"CUDA error 700 on device ...: an illegal memory access was encountered"


on all my devices, and the render freezes (Modo is responsive, but I have to kill the render).

I'm not using any of the newer features present in Octane 4. Has with Octane 3 I am using my two local GPU plus two other "slave" GPU in my network

For what I'm reading in the forum, a lot of users with other plugins (C4D and Max) are having a similar problems.

Any Info would be helpful.

UPDATE: The same problem occurs without network render.

Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3
32GB RAM
Local GPUs 2x GTX1800TI
Slave GPUs 2x GTX780
Windows 10 64
OctaneRender 4.00 (4000021) (installed with "OctaneRender for Modo 4.00.0.137" link)
Nvidia driver 417.35
Modo 12.2v1

Hi. This is a general Octane error, rather than a plugin specific problem, so can you please report it to OTOY in the Octane Standalone thread. The next build of the plugin (compiled with Octane 4.01.1) may also assist with this problem, and it should be available in the next few days.

Thanks
