Hi , Octane Team.
I introduce myself, I'm a young designer for a couple of years, and I'm using some softwares like Keyshot for now. Really intuitive to use , and perfect for object design scenery.
But one of my friend told me about you. A revolutionnary engine that could be more powerfull than what I'm using now.
So I trusted.
For professional reasons, I bought a second computer. More powerfull too , equiped with a SLI of 670GTX cards. That's the main reason Octane awakes my curiosity, being a GPU based render engine.
But.
Like many others I DLed the demo. And as many others , Octane crashes during the import of an .obj file. I read some articles about that. But I'm totally lost.
I'm using such a configuration for the first time , the SLI. And my english is not enough right to understand all the functions embeded in Octane.
For example, I don't really understand what is CUDA. I dl the latest version of CUDA, CUDA5. But on the manual , you are talking about the CUDA 3. Is it a problem ?
I'm working with the latest release of nvidia drivers for my cards, 306.97.
I disabled the SLI in the nvidia panel, as specified in the octan panel , in red.
But may I have forgot one thing . Here is a shot of my config panel in octane , do you see something wrong ?
I'm really lost , and don't know how to solve this problem. I don't even manage to open an Octane Scene like you have in your Download sections...
When I import an .obj file , it crashs when I'm clicking on its node...
Help...
Thanx a lot.
