hi
I am having a problem rendering animation. rendering stops randomly sometimes at frame 6 sometimes frame8.

I can send the scene for testing.

Hardware:
i7 4770
16GB Ram
Asus GTX nVidia 780Ti 3GB

Lightwave 11.6.1
Octane for LW v1.20.6

Why don't you try the last beta 1.31.2? ... perhaps the new plugin could works without problems.

-Juanjo

will do that right away!

thanks

Installed 1.31.2, but the problem is same, I have also tried different scenes but render stops.
on BenchmarkMarbles scenes render stopped at 9th frame..

please help!

thanks

I can see that you have also problems with standalone. Perhaps the problem is the same. Can you enable the log system in the plugin options panel to see if you also get CUDA errors?

Hi Juanjo,
Please check I have attached the log file.

and here is the screen grab.

You have the same problem as using Standalone:

00:31:48 (1908.19) * OCTANE API MSG: CUDA error 715 on device 0: Error code unknown.
00:31:48 (1908.19) * OCTANE API MSG: -> Kernel execution failed (pt)
00:31:48 (1908.19) * OCTANE API MSG: CUDA device 0: Path tracing failed


I think that your system has a hardware problem, perhaps the GPU or the PSU ... can you test your card in other computer?

Thanks for your reply Juanjo, I checked the 780ti in another system and it crashed as well, so got my Asus GTX780ti replaced with MSI GTX780ti and all is working fine.

Yes it was the GPU issue. Asus card was heating up too, the average temperature on Asus was 84C to 89C during rendering process, MSI has two extra fans on it so its temperature is approx. 67C to 70C while rendering

Thanks for the help
