Hi all,

As promised, here comes the test release with the new render kernel and spectral dispersion. There has also been some under-the-hood work on the internal message system and the way how OCS/OBJ files are loaded. The idea behind this version is to get some early feedback for these changes.

To use the new PMC kernel, you need a device of compute model 1.1 or higher.

This version is a test release and should not be used for production work. Scenes stored in this version may not load in beta 2.46b.

Please do not clutter this thread with wishes, requests and ideas. It's not that we are not interested, but currently we have to focus on the the stuff planned for beta 2.5.

Of course, any feedback on the render kernel and/or problems we might have introduced since beta 2.46b is very welcome and much appreciated.

This release was built with CUDA 4.0, which means that you should install the latest graphics driver (http://www.nvidia.com/page/drivers.html). On Mac OS and Linux you also have to install the latest CUDA 4.0 toolkit and driver (http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-40). We have tested it on Mac with the latest graphics driver provided by the Mac updates. On Linux we tested with NVIDIA driver 270.41.19 and on Windows with NVIDIA driver 275.33.

Since this release does not contain the changes in our render framework, multi-GPU still does not work properly and is not the focus for it.

Here are the archives (to save time we haven't build installers):

Nice, but if I upgrade to CUDA 4.0 will Octane 2.46b (for CUDA 3.2) still work? If I risk to mess everything, I rather wait for the official 2.5 version...

As far as I know and as far as we have tested: Yes Octane build for CUDA 3.2 should still work.

Cheers,
Marcus

That's fine :)
It was more about: "I would like to see feature X." - "Yes me too." - "+1" - "+100" - "+1000" ...

Cheers,
Marcus

2.47 works just fine with the latest drivers (Linux 270.41.19).

2.46b does not work with CUDA 4.0 (error while loading shared libraries: libcudart.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory), but this is not really a problem since I plan to do just some tests and then go back to CUDA 3.2
