maya plugin blue screen

[g0ll4m]

this is what i get when i try the plug in. everything is loaded correctly including the standalone app

Please enable the "Verbose mode" in Octane global settings, and look at console messages...

[g0ll4m]

I just enabled verbose mode, where are the console messages located?

*if console is the same as output window, im looking at it now, but what would i be looking for?

I have a light in the scene, and an octane camera and an octane material assigned to the geometry

The standalone app works, I tested it with the same geometry, what could this mean as the renderer idles on the default blue sreen?

Console - I just mean "Maya Script Editor". It is where you get all the messages from Maya.

ok this is what came up in the sript editor, not sure what its telling me though.

Here is the reason. Too old CUDA compute model...

how is it that the standalone app works but the maya plugin doesnt?

[g0ll4m]

ok, it works now, i swapped out my graphics card with a new one. The standalone app renders ridiculously fast, but the maya plugin i can't get similar results,

i have a light in the scene and i tried adjusting the max samples size but it still looks the same, it barely shows up through the renderer.

am i missing something?

nevermind, i needed an environment and i guess im using the lights improperly
