Render animation issue?

Hi,

Does anyone experiencing issue that you can't render animation sequence?

I've set render range as 0 to 660, but when I hit render, it will render only first frame and it will stop. Same issue with All frames or preview range.
Strange thing is, this scene rendered just fine today until now. I have tried to copy all scene elements to new fresh scene and render from there without any success.

I have tried different frame ranges, different output directorys or different filetypes (JPG, PNG, TIF and such) and no help.

My GPU has free memory space so it shouldn't be that kind of error.

Does this issue sound familiar to anyone or am I alone with this issue?


Thanks

Yes unexpected behaviour. Maybe a Cuda error. Do you see a Cuda error in Console output?

By Console, do you mean console inside C4D or something else? Sorry, I'm not too familiar with console things.

Thanks for your assistance.

In Script menu, you can see Console command. It's a output window for scripts also for our messages.
You are welcome.

Thank you,

All I get is:

---- FRAME 0 vpfps:25 rfps:25 first:1 fullUpd:1 updMthd:0 nodes:0 links:0 ----
--------------------------- EXPORT LOG ---------------------------
Export materials time= 315.191 ms
Collect objects time= 16.98 ms
Meshes creation time = 93.638 ms.
Sending to Octane engine time = 6.963 ms
Octane update time = 203.356 ms.
Octane update time = 0.008 ms.
Total export Time = 1674.316 ms

No error message or what so ever. Picture viewer will display 0 to 660 frames as rendering range, but after first frame has rendered it will change to single frame range... Strange.

I remember this from old versions. What is your plugin version?

I think there is something which is incompatible. Maybe some tags,materials,etc.. from a different renderer or so.. Best method to disable some objects and try to render.

Thanks for your tip! I deleted all materials and sure it rendered just fine so now I have to narrow down which material is causing error.
Thanks again, now I can continue!

Can you let me know your findings? I may fix it.
