LuxRender Windows CVS build of 11-05-2010

As requested

Read SATtva's post for all the juicy details.

Includes jeanphi's attempt to fix the null+mix material bug, lets hope he's managed to beat the beast into submission

Lord, you've posted a link to an old progress report (linux weeklies).

[Lord Crc]

Ugh sorry! I've fixed the link now. Due to some network issues I lost my first version of this post so I was a bit quick when rewriting it.

Someone already pointed out that luxconsole.exe is crashing - happens in this build too.

Detail:

- variant 1: start luxconsole on each server and then start a full render on the master => all ok

- variant 2: leave luxconsole on at the servers and let the master use those for preview renders also (from within blender for me), then start a full render on the master => all clients crash (doesnt matter if a preview render is finished or not), restarting luxconsole on the servers make those reconnect easily without issues


Crash point:

According luxconsole textures are being loaded. In my case a medium HDR (15MB) first, exactly when the second texture is initiated to load (message comes up at the cmd prompt window) luxconsole crashes on the server.

I do not know what what I'm doing wrong now... It seems that any new scene I generate for this weekly seems to crash both the gui and console versions of LuxRender when they both hit about 896MB actual and virtual memory. The previous scene I made seems to load fine in under console mode, even though it uses more memory.

Do you think that using more procedural textures is causing some sort of memory leak that using a scene with all image based textures would not?

Edit: Obviously, it loads clay materials and renders with 700+MB less memory used.

[ayanematrix]

Minor update: It seems that I may have stumbled onto another bug of sorts. For whatever reason, the gamma on a render from luxconsole is insanely high (when I can get part of a scene to work mind you) versus what is rendered in luxrender's gui (via clay mats).

Here are the images for comparison:
LuxRender -

Scene rendered in LuxRender.exe with clay materials to check for memory issues.

luxconsole -

Partial scene/figure render from luxconsole.exe with same lights from previous LuxRender wo/clay mats scene while trying to test for areas I could clean up to conserve memory.

Anyone able to make sense of what's going on or is my system just too underpowered anymore to handle this sort of thing?

[Lord Crc]

Hmm, I'm a bit surprised you've managed to use 700MByte of textures, could you paste the log from when it's loading them here?

As for the gamma... I'm baffled, haven't had any such issues myself.

[ayanematrix]

Well, you asked for it:

Removed parts that had info on my computer... not really critical, but meh. Memory actually hovers around 897,347KB real and virtual, slightly less than what I mentioned previously.

Which obviously works, even with the inconsistent shading normals warnings, which seems to be linked to some hidden portions of the mesh for eyebrows, parts of the eyes, and inner mouth to name a few. Memory usage hovers around 102,892KB real, 99,032KB VM

Keep in mind that the texture loading process is the only thing LuxRender gui and the console versions generate in the log before it generates a critical Visual C+ error message that doesn't actually say what went wrong, just as it did before when I encountered this issue previously with another scene which works fine in console mode and eats more memory.

Also, I was experimenting with hair particles for grass, but removed them when I thought it wouldn't load them into LuxRender anyway, that and the exported file was over 300+MB when it usually hovers around 12 or so megs. The textures, in jpeg form, take up 29.49MB of space; but, I assume they balloon to at least 288.10MB when they are loaded the first time into memory by LuxRender. After that... it appears to take around 2.25 times extra memory to just load (or reuse technically) all the textures and begin processing the rest of the scene prior to it crashing. Sadly, it could eat up more memory than that, but I can't even be sure since it dies halfway through.

Anyway, I hope it makes more sense to you than it does to me.

Hmm yes, I see your textures should take <300Mb, so it's weird that the difference is almost 800mb measured. I'll look into it and see if I can reproduce it here.

[Lord Crc]

I'm unable to reproduce the texture memory usage you observed. Have you enabled filtering on those textures besides "bilinear" or "nearest"?
