doesn't PMC like ies photometric lights?

Fri Dec 09, 2011 9:14 pm

Hi all,

I found that my scene doesn't like ies photometric lights when I use the PMC kernel.
After few passes (70-80) all my gpus (4) stop to compute.

No problem with PT

P.S.
my scene has more than 400 materials and not all textures are loaded, in fact before the rendering a message appears and says that 32bpp is reached, etc..etc...

I'm using the latest Octane beta.

I mean to read that there is an issue with ies and pmc, which will solved in the next version.

yes, I'm trying to use the 2.52 and it's ok now, Octane renders perfectly ies lights with PMC kernel.

I noticed that the PCM with the 2.55 is faster, in fact with this release my gpus are at full load (99%) during the rendering process, but crashes

The previous release (2.52) renders at 97-98%, never at 99%, but is more stable.

Hi Gabriele,
how to using GPU not in full power?
maybe by reduced the power , I can reduced the temperature.
