Octane does nothing when I click on the icon.

I have the latest nVidia drivers form nVidia and the CUDA version from your recommendations 3.2.16 (althoug I have also tried v4)
If I try to drag the icon into a terminal window i get:
"errror while loading shared libraries: libcudart.so.3: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory"

looks CUDA related.

Thanks

Hi,

Did you also install the NVIDIA CUDA 3.2 toolkit? If not, here is the download link:

And below please also find the link to the "Getting Started" tutorial which might help you as well if you haven't seen it already:

Let me know if you have any further queries

Cheers

hey hesamg59, it asks for authentication because that is actually a previous commercial release of the software. Where did you download it from? If you are interested to test Octane, you should download the official release demo from the Octane Render forums. Or better yet, buy a license for the current release...
