lozruh Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Hi There, I am rendering with Redshift and not caching each frame of a growth simulation - with vdbs -. I have got around 1000 frames and about in every 250 frames it crashes and when I reopen the houdini file and render it, the rendering is extremely slow. Yet when I restart the machine its fast again. Why is this happening. I have attached the file. Do I necessarily need to cache the frames or is it something else? I can disable and then enable the graphics card which helps and better than restarting the whole machine but still it would kill all the running houdini files. Thanks, Levent LO_Growth.hiplc Edited January 9, 2019 by lozruh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepu Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Probably you are running out of memory. You should post your log and post the question in RS forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davpe Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 if you're not caching your simulation, then you should. you always want to do that to avoid possible issues in rendering stage (with any renderer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatsinaname Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 VDBs also tend to cause some memory leak issues. Sometimes re-starting Houdini is all you can do, so make sure to cache anything VDB related before rendering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
