Indigo Renderer 4 public beta

[Zom-B]

Hey Pibuz,

if you restart Indigo, does it tells ya that it crashed and created a dumpfile to send to Glare?
Check your crash dump folder for some "new content":

Code: Select all

C:\Users\zom_b\AppData\Roaming\Indigo Renderer\crash dumps

v4 shouldn't crash at start at all, and to me it sounds to be OpenCL unrelated...

[Pibuz]

Hi Zom-B! thanks for your answer!

Problem is that Indigo doesn't start at all!
v. 3.8 worked and works excellent if I re-install it...

Hey Patrice.

Keep in mind that the bedroom scene from Arthur is a pretty heavy scene....TON of geometry in it.
Thats why you can't render it. Your iMac isn't strong enough for it.

Nah, that's a top of the line iMac, I think they'll sort it out. I think NVIDIA cards on OS X might need some work as they AFAIK haven't been tested much yet.

[Zom-B]

Ok, here some wild guessing, but lets have a try:

how about the OpenGL preview window... do you have it open in v3?
If yes, the close it in v3, close Indigo and then open v4.
It should now start without this window...

v4 has quite some enhancements in that OpenGL window,
but its a common source for crashes and I still have no idea what the hell I should use it for?? :D

[Pibuz]

Ok got you Arthur thanks!
So I'll get to have two versions of Indigo installed, that's no problem if that solves the issue.

Thanks again I'll let you know!

[Zom-B]

So I'll get to have two versions of Indigo installed, that's no problem if that solves the issue.

I usually install every new version in a new folder, having dozens of versions at the same time without any issue.
The thing we will abuse now, is that window placement in Indigo is saved one one centralized spot in the OS and every version shares this, same as "Recent Scenes" ;)

Good. ^ ^
Wasn't sure on the exact model but a simpler scene to test would not hurt.
Thanks Oscar!

So... those of you on OS X – The NVIDIA panel in System preferences did not detect a newer driver on its own. You can get one here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/mac-driver-archive.html

This changes nothing for me though. Still crashing on Building OpenCL Kernels.

Hey Voytech. Can you specify what OSX you are on? 10.11.4? And what kind of mac?

Posted earlier in the thread but here it goes:

[Voytech]

Do some tests on OSX, on iMac 27, i7 (3,4) - Nvidia Geforce GTX 680MX (2048 M) - Open CL 1,2 - latest CUDA driver.

Open CL drivers are part of OSX and can't be manually updated (only CUDA).
GPU don't works in Mavericks (render window is divided in two square)
On Capitan, crash during open CL build with bedroom scene BUT I can render Erotica scene !

Did someone can do Erotica test with others OSX / material configurations ?

I get identical behavior here.

Late 2013 iMac 27" i7, NVIDIA Geforce GTX775M 2GB. Erotica scene runs at just over 2000M/s on GPU while CPU easily outpaces it to the tune of 3300M/s.

Also, is it normal behavior for the GPU render mode to only update samples/s during scene update?

Do you have a possibility to run indigo_console with a command line, I'm not a Mac user so can't point you the direction how to, but the output could be interesting for debugging your problem:

Code: Select all

indigo_console.exe --gpu_info

Also, is it normal behaviour for the GPU render mode to only update samples/s during scene update?

Yes, this is the case at the moment and is because of the tiles based rendering approach in OpenCL mode. I hope to see here some more flexibility yin the future too.

Yep, should work specs are ok.
Just tested on a Macbook Pro with NVIDIA card 7.5.26 CUDA drivers.
Crash follows during Build....material edit only works with CPU mode too.
Used Oscars optimized scene.

Sorry Voytech it seems to me you have to wait a bit longer. :(

Updated linux builds. Should work fine now.

[SreckoM]

Thanks! Let me burn GTX980 than.

[OnoSendai]

Linux build has been updated in place.
