Now, with more context, I think it's the settings. Can be closed down.
Thanks for clarifying.
During the render mentioned above, the Blender 'applicaiton' used 140GB according to activity monitor. This scene still rendered successfully. I didn't mean to imply that…
I'm feeling now that this isn't so much a bug, but more of an issue where it isn't very transparent what's being asked of the computer?
I think I remember from.... hmmm... maybe it's Maxwell…
After doing some tests, this is what I've found. My Mac Pro has 240GB of ram.
During a 4096px square render of a sofa with a blanket, Blender peaked (activity monitor) at around 140GB. The…
OK, thanks I'll try that.
Do you have a feeling that the reported scene memory usage inside Blender (bottom right) is unreliable? There is also another 'peak memory usage' inside the render…
Leaving the "experimental" mode that I've been using for ever and switching to "supported" seems to stabilize the situation a bit. It also becomes more intuitive, again, to mentally visualize the…
I'll try to create a scene that reproduces the error. I party have large textures that I can't share, but as I said, I'm using 'Simplify' to limit texture size also when rendering.
It's my…
That's fine with me: close with a link, mention, or whatever is appropriate.
Thanks!
Looks related, as they are also not on Apple Silicon.
What stands out is that Jeroen says he didn't see it on a local Intel Mac that he has close by. Not clear about the specs on that Mac, but…
On my side (and I just updated to latest macOS 14.4.1) everything still works as expected.
I've had no issues since my last post 3 weeks ago.
Just wanted to end this with a confirmation that the official 4.1b daily build works for me now. Normal speed and no warnings.
Much appreciated. Hoping that this will allow me to use my Mac Pro…
I've committed the fix to 4.1 now, along with a tweak that at least for me brings back performance to 4.0.1 level in classroom and junkshop scenes. Hopefully that's enough, as I don't have any…
@Pixla Just confirming, you say your computer renderings this scene in 4.03 in around 15-17 seconds. Are you using my custom build of 4.0.3?
Yes, that is correct. I should I have been clear…
I was able to reproduce problems on macOS 14.3.1 now.
Can you try this build?
Thanks a lot for the build!
It's a fall in the right direction! I get a successful render of…
Very interesting. But yes, I'm always on the latest non-beta macOS.
Thanks for updating!
If needed, I'd be happy to contribute in any way that I can (any amount of testing/checking) to get MPX modules (official AMD cards) up and running to at least LTS…
Yep. Huge thanks to Alaska 🙏🏻 for tirelessly providing different builds that I could test.
We did reach a point where I no longer get any reported errors, but in 4.1 and 4.2 builds I…
Thanks for staying active on this—I'm sure everyone seeing issues appreciates it.
I had seen #116247 previously, but looking at it again, I once more checked for kernels in:
