OTOY Forums

Hi there,
I'm using all the latest standalone / plugin (2.24.0) as well as c4d R16.
I get a crash when applying displacement to an object on a large scale scene. It's a pretty serious crash too, and my only option is to hold down the power button on the pc when it happens. ctrl + alt + delete isn't usually responsive.
Just thought I'd let you know about this one, as it's a bit of a pain!
Thanks

Displacement can be very extensive for gpu. Also this is not a bug.
Please search forum for displacement topics. Your post is moved to related section.

But instead of crashing, Octane should just "exit gracefully," and put up an error message, no?

Sorry but it's not a plugin issue. I don't have any control on this kind of Core features. Also i don't think Otoy team has it. This is not a CPU renderer. In gpu renderers somethings are much harder.
Also same problem can occurs on cpu renderers when you hardly increase the parameters.
