Bug ?

Phylloxera · April 30, 2009, 11:29:13 AM

Long ago that I did not have these problems again it is boring!
After several hours of being made a part of the image as a black square!
Is there something to do what is the problem?
Thank you!

Did you get a warning in the errors and warnings window that you'd lost a render thread and that it could not be restarted, if so I have see this problem also? It seems to happen if your using GI and are using a high sample count and you use " Preallocate Subdiv Cache" and set it to 200MB, the prepass stage completes as normal but if a thread dies you get these black squares in the render which don't go away once the render is complete.

Regards to you.

Yes I had a warning window that I closed and the report has resumed again.
0.8 details
AA 12
GI 2 details
GI on sample 2
Subdiv size of 400 and preallocate unchecked!
I'll try again!

Does the image need that much AA? could probably throttle back to like 6-8?

Phylloxera · April 30, 2009, 01:49:58 PM

Perhaps yes, I'll try again and then perhaps reduce the AA
Is the problem it that once that functions the other time that does not function and one never knows really why? thus one cannot really rectify!

I don't see any particular reason why it would be failing. Are you using reflectivity on your population leaves at all? How many populations? Can you check memory use in Task Manager while rendering?

I had this this sort of black unrendered boxes every now and again with complicated refelctive scenes (before I used the /3GB switch), but then did a cropped render of that particular area and pasted it over in PS. It's not perfect but you'll get your whole scene.

No the reflection on the sheets. 3 populations used. Yes I can check the core use. But I launched my render in 4 parts, for the moment all is held correctly!

Phylloxera · May 01, 2009, 04:41:35 AM

On one render only to 25% of the total image I have these results in the manager of tasks.

Even on does one made minimal that start again?

Hi,

Can you email me the files for the scene? I'll need all the files. My email address is:

jomeder@planetside.co.uk

Please do it soon if possible, I won't have broadband in about a day.

Regards,

Jo

Ok ! It's impossible !
the file is too heavy it would be necessary that you download Pando (free) so that I can send the totality of the files to you!

70 Mo impossible to transmit it via Orange

This might beg the question - Is TG2 getting overloaded from what it's loading in your scene so that makes your computer fail?

Oshyan · May 02, 2009, 12:14:27 AM

Are you rendering in 4 TG2 instances *simultaneously*, is that what you're saying? If so, why? I would strongly recommend against that. If not then hopefully Jo will be able to take a look at your scene as I don't have any other strong ideas.
