Hello,

I am experiencing problems with the demo for blender. I use Windows 8.1 64bit and 2xGTX 750Ti EVGA. I installed 3 files: The standalone demo - blender octan version - and octan render server. I run Octan render server first, it's displayed in the tray (windows bar, right corner) and run blender octan then, activate the octan plugin inside blender, enable cuda and my cards (already checked) and switch to octan renderer and press F12 or put my viewport to rendered. When my viewport is too big, i get the message "resoluation too high" (which is correct of course!), when I shrink the view down, I get nothing - rendering is not starting - "Waiting for image..." - GPU load is probably at zero (rest of system is working at full speed - fans don't speed up).

Resolution is set to 200x200 pixels - still nothing.

Since it's the demo I souldn't have to fill in any passwords?? Server adress is 127.0.0.1 - could it be, that I have to ajust it?

Thank you for any help.
Tanks for any help...

Hi,

The blender demo is built on octane v1.53 which does not have support for the 750.
Unfortunately you will need to wait until the demo is next updated (with version 1.54 or later).

Thanks

Hi cybertex,

I have updated the windows demo to 1.55, please re-download/install and try that one.

Thank you very much! Installed the new octan server and blender octane editon. When I start blenderOctane 2.71 it tells me: VCOMP120.DLL is missing. Any ideas? Maybe a problem because I had the older demo installed, before?

Hi, Thanks for letting us know this.

Please download the blender release from here: http://download.blender.org/release/Ble ... dows64.zip
And then extract vcomp120.dll, msvcr120.dll and msvcp120.dll into your BlenderOctane folder.

Thank you very much!!! Is working now. Really looking foreward into testing it! Curious how much faster it is in comparison to cycles.
