OctaneRender 2020.2 LightWave Production build 2020.2.4.0

Sat Jun 26, 2021 5:30 am

In general, I must say - the release is very stable. As soon as I figured out the problematic instances, Octane in a huge scene (12 million pure geometry and about 100 million instances) works flawlessly.
The Selected Objects feature in the IPR is especially helpful - I haven't used it before, but now I've found it very useful.

C4D and other plugins have had a spotlight for years now. It's feature parity issues like this--not to mention the ridiculous years-long documentation problem--that aggravate me enough to make me wander over to the Redshift site when I'm waiting for an Octane job to finish.

Thanks Juan,

Does this build solve FiberFX crash with 30X0 GPUs ?

I'm not sure, tbh. I don't have any 30x0 GPU yet. Have you checked it out?

Thanks,

Hi Juan, ok i checked now on my RenderSlave (i don't have 30X0 either in my main workstaiton

) and it seems to be working/FIXED.
That is good, strange but good (since you've not done any fixes there ?) but maybe some of octane CORE bugs caused crash and now fixed so good side-effect ?

Thanks

Yes, this was a core issue for sure. A crash released to a GPUs family usually is not a problem on the plugin side.

Thanks,

I am seeing objects dropping more with this build. I can resubmit the scene 5-times. Each time it's a different object that is dropped. But once the object that is dropping happens, its that same object each time for that render. I have two Octane render nodes. Both with a 3090. Both up to date for drivers, Windows, etc. I turned off the Octane instancing of nulls and clones. I've been doing this to fix the issue where this can cause object drops. It's always been a 100% failsafe. Now with this build, objects are dropping out nearly every render. No errors in the log. Rolling back....

Can you please attach a scene as simple as possible to reproduce this problem here?
