Try to set backup intervals to 0. Seems like this glitch happens every 15th frame. Maybe it will fix it. I have the same problem with wetmaps when octane will render wetmaps to whatever backup interval is set to freezing the renderer. Hopefully otoy will fix these 2 bugs.

Here is my bug post with wetmaps viewtopic.php?f=81&t=64967

Coilbook, I love you. Ive literally spent the whole day, simulating, rendering, re-simulating, rendering, installing different versions of octane, upgrading GPU drivers, installing security updates to let even newer versions of octane install, and installing different versions of Phoenix - none of it helped and it all came down to this little bug! Thank you!!!

I can now actually get on with using this properly tomorrow

Really helpful!

Also please fix this devs!

You are very welcome!

Im getting all sorts of problems now. Ive made a few changes such as installing latest octance needed lates nvidia drivers, plus the windows security update and I'm getting very unstable performace :

"Render failure in viewport rendering : Gpu Failure. check log for error detail"
I'm getting images when it does open like the attached below.

Also when it does work Im getting no volume now for my phoenix smoke.

Can you recommend a combination of gpu drivers and octane version that will render smoke stably please?

Try uninstalling your Nvidia drivers using DDU Uninstaller

Install Nvidia drivers 388.13.

thanks paride

and what's the last stable version of octane I can use to render pheonix 3.1 smoke? I'm finding octane 3.08 slower than 3.07 for rendering. I was using 3.06-4.41 and this was rendering smoke faster (although that was from an older phoenix version too)

that unfortunately didnt work Paride,

I have restored now from a backup i made last week.

Phoenix 3.1 doesnt show volumes with my current octane version (3.06 -4.41) - what's the next version up I can install where it will work? Don't want to go to the latest version because I've done it twice now and something is causing my computer to go wonky (either the Nvidia drivers, octane version or the windows security update)

thanks for any help

Hi Darkline,
you are going through exactly what I went through
The most recent Phoenix is 3.04.02 (from chaos nightlies) that worked with 3.06 4.41 for me. Hopefully it will help you

Hi this was requested many times. Anyway to have dirt texture locked to one object so outside mesh will not trigger dirt to show up on the object. On the picture dirt shows up where water touches the sub. So dirt is unusable now. Thanks

@darkline,
why are you posting 3.08 5.02 RC2 issue in 3.08 stable?
That issue was fixed (black render region)
install 3.08 stable please.
