Hi Pibuz, I'm afraid you'll have to update your drivers again: http://www.nvidia.com/drivers

The 285.62 certified drivers from October work great

Hi Thom.
I was quite sure I had a quite updated drivers configuration, but you were right (as always): I had 276.14, and the current is 276.28 (I'm referring to nVidia QUADRO 4000 drivers).

Once updated, the error still appears.

Interestingly the latest Quadro drivers don't support CUDA 4.1, even though they are of the correct version number and very recent etc.

Sorry for this inconvenience and thanks for reporting, we'll revert to 4.0 for now.

BiDir + MLT is broken ?
I tried to render a simple test scene and it said 0 s/s despite using all cores.

EDIT: appears to be related to using an SSS material.

SSS materials can induce a very high number of scatters, which makes the MLT warmup take a loooong time. There's also a case where it can become essentially stuck, this is known and will be fixed relatively soon (it's on our TODO towards the top!).

If you trigger image overlay options during rendertime, the "Time elapse" counter resets to Zero...

There is a very ugly bug regarding EP and Glass material (rendertime varies!):

EP activated in BiDirPT:

For me it looks liuke behind the glass you only see sky light but not direct Sunlight in PT mode, same as the Bug reported before GPU + EP.
Any thoughts here guys? I used the old Sky Model and no, Glass Acel. doesn't help here :(

I also did a quick test with that scene using a EnvMap,

here you have a small shift ind the EnvMap, but no actual rendering issues:

Hi Zom-B,
Thanks for the report.
It's not actually a bug, just the same old slow-to-converge behaviour with some kind of paths.
I do have some plans to fix this.

I found this "bug" at begninning of summer as far as i remember and i did some tests. One of them was rendertime. 48hours on 2 computers and sun wasnt visible behind the glass. Without EP, sun is visible immediately.

It seems that GPU rendering has a general darker phong material then CPU based rendering:

Something that can be fixed?
