Octane Render Commercial v1.02 beta2 Released

[MadMinstrel]

I still can't find it. Ah well. I guess I'll learn in due time. What am I doing skimming software forums on my holiday anyway?

I told you it was just in front of you... from a long time

Ooh. Thaaat. Right. The first letter looked like a C to me, that's why I couldn't find any mention of it. I thought Refractive was going to launch another madly innovative piece of software.

Hi,

there is a limit:

64 'image' textures maximum.
32 'floatimage' textures maximum.

these are cuda limits that i haven't managed to develop a workaround for.

try to be a bit sparingly with floatimages, try to join some objects and maps if possible into larger ones.

is ok now and i have alpha channel yesss
but i post my solution if order people have the same problem ,
i have two monitor and is ok but if you use utramond is crash Octane, so just close ultramond and all work fine so i decide to in-installed completely and all work fast now.

so octane and ultramond = low quality or crash
thx.

Hey radiance, at first, Thanks for the nice version of octane, but i have an problem.
Octane crash to desktop, if i set the resolution to 4000x4000px. My desktop resolution ist 1680x1050px.

The drivers of my sytem are the newest, cuda 3.0 is installed.

maybe you don't have enough video ram ?
have you tried going a bit lower say 3000x3000 ?

Its also possible that you have the default GPU timeout delay
If you got a message saying that your display driver recovered

Yes, the problem is bey every resoltution bigger than the resolution of my desktop. I´ve testing with 2560*1920px and i use 150mb of 1024 videoram then crash octane to desktop.
But if i change the resolution before i add an mesh, the octane render it.
If i add an mesh and delete the note. The Mesh is always in the render viewport. And i f change my resolution, octane crash every time.

I noticed that if I load a 16bit grayscale .tif image in the opacity channel it immediately crashes Octane whether loaded as "image" or "floatimage". 8bit image loads fine so far. Is this a known limitation?

[radiance]

noted. we'll fix this.

Hi,

the issue here is the video driver watchdog timeout which is very low on windows 7.
try the registry fix here: http://www.refractivesoftware.com/forum ... stry#p8019
