OTOY Forums

Try to hear my words, really hear it not just answer it.
I do this job for 20 years and today for the first time in 20 years i had to change my workflow in the middle of my production because octane V3 couldn't render high size any more.

So my advice, make otoy team strongly test updates before release, working with octane is just like playing lottery.

Anyway, i still crash with your settings.
I upload the file in attachment if you want to get an eye on it. (3dsmax 2018)

What driver do you use ?

Thanks

Hi thekwen,
436.48
Try to use cpu memory in Kernel > Render setting

still crashing, i use the same nvidia drivers, are you on 3dsmax 2018 ?

Hi thekwen,
yes, 3dsMax 2017, 2018 and 2019 too.
you could you try to install 436.48 Nvidia driver again.
To get an effective Nvidia drivers installed, please use [DDU Nvidia unistaller drivers](http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/dis ... nload.html) (safe mode unistall), the best way to get a clean installation.

I did a ddu install in safe mode of latest drivers.
I also reinstalled octane after that.

Could you send me the hair and fur files from your pc for 2018 just to see if im not missing something in setup ?

I ask a friend to test Hair and Fur and it was working, with 6.14, so i install it and it works.
Then i upgrade from version to another and now it works even with 6.21.

As i said, octane lottery, this is pathetic.

Epilogue:

Reopening the same files that was working yesterday, 3dsmax crash ...
Testing ... testing ... to see that when i install 6.20 or 6.21 the hair and fur file works once and once only, after that it crashs ...

Downgrade to 6.14, everything seems to work more than once ...

Octane nightmare ...

Another problem with 6.21. When I add the bitmap node, 6.21 is crashing.

Hi, I have the same problem. Have you been helped? Is there a solution? Or again roll back to the old version?

paride4331, hi look please! When you add an image, the program crashes. This is in an empty scene.
