Hi, I'm using the Free Tier.
I remember reading the licensing terms but now I got confused. My question is if I can you the free tier for Commercial porpuses.
I'm a freelancing and I have a team that work mainly on VFX and since we are starting our company we wanted to know if its "Legal" to use the free tier for selling our services! Thanks a lot.

@ Ondre161.
Yes sure, you can use the free tier for commercial use, you are only limited to 1x GPU, without Net render.
Happy GPU Rendering,

This combination of the server and the "custom made Blender" is here not working.
I have checked that the server has all needed rights in the firewall.
It started once and worked, then the server ended itself several times.
Now the "custom Blender" itself hangs while loading, does not get even into the loading Screen.
I see no other choice then to remove the whole bunch of programs.
It should be better tested before a public release as i see it.
If you need a bet(er)a tester you can contact me.
The ending of the server with just a right click and no Menu and no warning is a usability "No Go" for professional Software company.
As i see it this thing is not ready for a public release.

Just curious on whether a 2.82 version is anywhere close? I have a project where octane would really speed things up, but I wanted to use Mantaflow in it.

Hi Folks,
I haven't been around for ages but I'd like to get back into it with Blender and Octane etc. I've downloaded the two files at the beginning of this thread but get this message ..

The procedure entry point cuDeviceGetUuid could not be located in
the dynamic link library C;\ProgramFiles\OctaneServerPrime\Octane.dll.

Can someone tell me what that actually means .. Thanks

Hello Guys,

I've noticed area lights or planes with black body emission shaders are blocking the light both from HDRI environment and another light source.
Camera and shadow visibility is unticked.
Any idea how to fix this without repositioning the lights?

Check the Prime downloads page, it should have updated to a version with 2.82.
