My scene keeps crashing when I hit render to picture viewer bu tits fine when i render to live viewer. i cant figure this one out. i even tried exporting it to the standalone and it would only show me the 1st frame of my scene. i attached my project file:
C4D Octane standalone

Did you read these? Follow 4 and 5.


IN ANY CRASH CASE PLEASE DO THESE!!!
If you see CUDA errors follow 1,2,3,4.

1- Try different drivers, some of them could cause instability issues. Do a clean install while doing this to be sure previous files completely removed.

2- Check gpu frequency. Overclocking would cause instability issues

3- Check PSU. Insufficient power output would cause instability issues

4- Check the free amount of GPU's VRAM and system's RAM while working. Low VRAM will/may cause CUDA errors. Be aware of some generator objects will have different triangle count in Picture Viewer than Live Viewer. It’s like “editor/render” parameter. Just try to use same value. Also try to optimise your scene for polygon count, even use smaller images. Try to use Octane texture nodes rather than using C4D texture/shaders.
Alternatively, use V4 and Out-of-core(OOC) function. Increase RAM for OOC and It should not exceed physical RAM amount. Check TDR value and increase if it's necessary.

5- If you see C4D crashes without CUDA errors, then send us bugreport.zip, screen-shots and video capture to show process and crash moment. Also please send us a sample scene in a format of C4D or ORBX to let us investigate and test it. Alternatively, try to delete/hide some objects/materials until crash gone away. If you find what's causing crashes, send us a sample scene to let us for
investigating and bring a fix or solution.

Thanks for helping the development by your feedbackst! It’s impossible to quickly catch every case without user feedbacks! It’s the same procedure as other companies do like Maxon/etc...
