Memory issue

Mon Sep 03, 2018 7:43 am

Hello Juanjo,

i have an issue with one of the project i'm working on actually,
although i have still 5 gb of memory left (1080 ti) , the IPR stops rendering
and goes black, i have the message "Octane can't render the shader ball (NULL)"
appearing in the bottom of the screen.
It's not a crash, but i can't render anything until i have relaunch LW.
IPR does the render fine, but stops as soon as i start working on the materials.
Until then, relaunching LW would fix it and i could still work.
Today it stops everytime i start to work on it.
If you have any clue? the project has 2.5 millon polys, not that much.
I' m on the last buid of Octane 3 + LW 2015.3
Thanks a lot.

Hi,

This is really a weird issue that I had not seen before. Can you please enable the Octane log and attach here the file that you get after reproducing this problem? A sample scene to reproduce it here could also help.

Thanks,

Thanks Juanjo,

for the moment, it seems i've have solved it by
switching my display from one of the 1080 ti to the mainboard graphics.
I still have 5 GB left (weird? there are 2 gb missing somewhere as i only have 4 gb used during the render) but
everything looks to be working fine.
Sorry, i can't send you the LOG as it has been overwritten since.
If this issue happens again, i wil make a copy of it.
I can tell you that the log was diplaying a type 2 error/out of memory though,
on both my 1080 ti cards.
Thanks again

Olivier
