Hi,

If there is no error report and crash log, it's likely that you're driver/toolkit installation is the problem.
Try reinstalling the cuda driver and cuda toolkit and octane render.

Where are these toolkits downloaded?

I have an Acer Laptop with a Cuda enabled nVidia display adapter, but any OBJ I try and import crashes Octane, sometimes straight to Windows7 desktop, other times with an error (I will note it later and report back).

Cheers!

Hi!
I don't think you'll need the toolkit under Win, am I right?

I'm no expert but in my personal experience most of the crashes I see are due to driver/installation probs (crashes on startup) or out of Vmemory probs (crashes on obj/texture loading). Also, in Win you may need to do a little tweak in the registry (can't remember where but it's been discussed several times in the forums - try a quick search)

cheers,

Thanks, will check all that out, my guess for a start is likely the display drivers I have being the wrong version, so will DL them now so take home.

Cheers!
