Daily builds version 3

The only bad thing about this fancy denoiser is that blurrs the edge between definition of render taking long to render -_-

Situation - rendering preview on X5650 2400x1800 image resolution 4 minutes has passed image is almost clean and and tho something is scrapping inside my mind *dude it is taking too long*. This denoiser is definetly is teaching to bad things. =D

----------------------------

Afterwards i was woundering what is going to happen with volumetrics and OpenVDB.

Well it samples great Open VDB by itself but when collored lights + volume comes in it almost have no efect on images and produces artifacts.

Images below.

===== Error(-18) =====
Internal error in NVIDIA AI Denoiser. Please report this to Corona support with this info:

Error encountered during denoising.
Unknown error (Details: Function "_rtCommandListExecute" caught exception: Failed to launch DLDenoiser post-processing stage. DLDenoiser run method failed with error -29.)


Who do I report this to?
Also we have two PC's with Nvidia 730, they seem not to work with new denoiser are they going to be supported?

1 - Have you tryed to update graphics card driver?

2 - If yes and they still wont work then it's 99% that they won't support it.

You just did, thanks :)

It seems that GT 730 is a marketing name for cards with GPUs which can have either Kepler or Fermi microarchitecture. Kepler is supported by the AI denoiser, while Fermi is not, so it really depends on which variant you have.

I was just curious if the recent fix for VFB resizing forcing multiple IR restarts was the big IR release feature?  Or are larger optimizations coming?  I’d guess the latter, but just curious.  Thanks!

No, there are more optimizations and fixes of old and active bugs coming

Can't use NvidiaAiDenoiser in final render,max ui crash when I press stop or cancel render. test in 3ds max 2017  gtx 780ti   gtx1050ti  gtx660ti
IR is fine,Rendering fine too,just can't stop

Do you have any light mixer layers? if yes try to bake them. All this cards have very limited memory.

-----------------------------------------------

UPD - i have finaly cached that denoiser related crash on minidump, attaching file below.

1 - by unstoping noise of the GPUs fans it gives idea that it might be relatd to GPU overheating or by it's unstopping work may be there is some ways to ad the the denoising as posteffect wich will be calculated on render end or setting refresh rate to something like once every n-pases.

2 - May be it is not dumping anything from GPU RAM anything when while the scene with working denoiser is open.

3 - Or i just have to throw bs 970 to the window and buy something proper like titan or 1080ti =D

1. Yes

2. :(

I've been getting a lot more crashes with the last two builds either during IR or production rendering.  It's happening on a variety of scenes (that weren't crashing before), no common factor that I can figure out.  I am uploading a minidump now via the contact form.  LMK if you need any other info or if the minidump didn't go thru...windows 10, 3ds max 2016, 1950x.

Thanks,
Daniel

GTX 1080 Ti.  That said, it crashes in production rendering not using Optix.  I do have Optix enabled for IR.  I’d say I get more crashes with production than IR.

no crashing here but i do have some coming comments for improvement if needed. Meanwhile check your ram for any defect that might have arisen, random max crashes are almost always a defective piece of ram

True, but this machine has been running nearly crash free 8-12 hours a day for quite some time until installing the recent dailies.  I agree RAM is a common culprit but given the circumstances I wonder if it’s just a bug.  Hoping the minidump will tell more of the story.  Cheers, Daniel

Something realy strange happened to the material editor in 08-16 build.
