PMC kernel failure in C4D R15

[ankh]

hi

i'm testing Octane demo 2_06_win64 for Cinema 4D R15
in c4d, using the 2.06.1 plugin, everything seems to be working fine except when i try pmc Kernel
renders fails and i get the following log :

//

Export materials time= 0.128 ms
Collect objects time= 0.025 ms
Meshes creation time = 4.223 ms
Octane voxelization time = 0 ms
Sending to Octane engine time = 0.062 ms
Total export Time = 69.936 ms
PMC kernel: Unsupported compute model (52)
device 0: PMC failed
<<< Render Failure >>>

//

i'm using A geforce GTX 970, driver version is 344.75

can you help me understand what the problem might be ?
thx !

The problem is that PMC on a GTX 970 is not supported in 2.06 (they didn't exist back when that release came out). We will release a new demo next week that will support Maxwell 2 GPUs fully.

thank you for this information abstrax !

if i may ask another question, i cant seem to launch the standalone demo from the plugin, by the mean of "edit in standalone" in "file" menu. i cannot "save ocs" neither. are those known limitations of the demo plugin ?

Yes, saving is disabled on demo versions.

thank you for your answer !

"edit in standalone" feature would be nice. its an important feature / workflow to test in the demo context. i understand the need of limits in the demo context tho. maybe sending to standalone could be activated only if the standalone itself is a demo version. then, no problems with saving option right ?

NOTICE!! No new demo in this week - FAIL, if you're working in business day.
