Hi,

Just installed and tested the BlenderOctane v3. I'm having some network rendering issues and resulting in starting and stopping of the slave deamon over and over again. I keep getting these "didn't stop gracefully" errors when rendering in BlenderOctane itself ( see attachment ). I've exported the scene to ORBX and tried it in Standalone v3 and this works fine with network rendering ( after restarting the deamon ).

This happens in both Render result view and 3D viewport.
As mentioned: network rendering works in Standalone v3
It does see the GPU's BlenderOctane for a moment, but then saying: "No network GPU's"
Network rendering does work fine with BlenderOctane v2

FYI: It only happens when I start the Octane Server on my Master computer.

I'm not sure what is going on and I don't have any insight what the Blender plugin / OctaneServer does, but by the looks of it, it seems that the Blender plugin is constantly trying to bind/unbind the slave. How do you enable/configure network rendering in the Blender plugin? I assume you don't use net render configuration dialog like in the Standalone, do you?

Please copy these two files into the OctaneRender directory of your slave:
octane_daemon_log_flags.txt
(71 Bytes) Downloaded 272 times
octane_log_flags.txt
(98 Bytes) Downloaded 272 times
They enable logging of the slave and daemon applications into the files octane_log.txt and octane_daemon_log.txt. If you could then try to reproduce your problem above and send me those two files either via PM or post them here in this thread? This will hopefully shed some light onto the issue.

Thank you.

For BlenderOctane I need to install the Deamon first. When installing it gives me cmd which gives me some options to select:
Which port to use => default, 48000
Use all GPU's => default, yes use all
Use Out of Core mem => default, yes

Once this is done, the deamon is installed and I can run it.

I will copy your files into the OctaneRender directory of the slave pc and will PM you the results. Thanks!

Thank you very much. It is as I have expected: The master (i.e. the Blender plugin) is constantly asking the daemon to start and stop the slave. Dmitry will have a look at it next week, when he's back from vacation.

Please try the recent 3.03.4 - 11.0 version - must be fixed there.

Aah?! How do you get network rendering to activate in Blender?

Slave (Windows)
OctaneRender 3.06.4
Daemon running

Master (Mac OS X 10.12.6)
OctaneRender 3.06.4
OctaneRender for Blender 11.24
Blender 2.78a

In Render tab, I can only see local GPU but no extra GPU from another slave. What other step do I need to do to get it to work?
System #1: Mac Pro Early 2009, 12GB ECC RAM, Display: GTX 750 Ti 2GB (Maxwell) + CUDA: GTX 980 4GB (Maxwell)
System #2: MacBook Pro /w Retina 15", 16GB RAM, GT 650M 1GB
System #3: PC Windows i9 6 cores, 16GB RAM, RTX 2080 SUPER 8GB
