    Failed to retain Cuda Context (illegal address) I am getting this issue since morning in Blender. I was designing a car model and i used ivy gen geometry node for the model. Before adding the node, everything was fine. After I appending the ivy.blend file, I am getting this issue. i could view everything fine in 3D viewport. But I couldn't see any thing in render viewport and in render(It appears grey).the error was not saying 'GPU out of memory' , but saying "Failed to retain Cuda context (illegal address) PC : Dell G3 3500 OS : Windows 10 Graphics card : GTX 1650ti Vram : 4GB RAM : 8 GB Note : I have enabled the cuda and gpu for rendering (also tried optix). Still getting the same error message. It is a low poly file. I have tried: 1) updated and reinstalled nvidia driver 2) restarted blender. It works fine for all my other previously created models. If someone knows the solution, pls reply..

    Hello sir I made a glowing pipe mesh in this its looking like light is flowing I just animate mapping and change its rotation of z axis but now when I am exporting in gltf material is not coming along with the mesh when I am baking the emit all images are baking properly but when I am importing them in sequence image and exporting in gltf after that when I am importing only one single image is important not the all sequence image

    • @ZJ.Design
      @ZJ.Design Місяць тому

      Pretty sure that it does not come with sequence textures support. Maybe you can use code to load sequence img as delta time passby, or bake them as a video? What's best is that I think you can just use single frame and animate like you said using fragment shader, which will also give you best performance anyway.

    • @ZJ.Design
      @ZJ.Design Місяць тому

      I totally understand the frustration when it comes to refractive material for real-time interactive projects. I would maybe try to create the glass texture with code (or find some code online with shadertoys or other platforms). Refractive materials don't work very well when it comes to real-time rendering. Also the lighting is not comparable to cycles or even eevee. I would say maybe try using sequence frames or lower your expectation, or try to use a more stylized rendering instead of photo real style.

    • @ZJ.Design
      @ZJ.Design 5 місяців тому

      For transmissive material, blender doesn't follow industry standards. My guess is that you might need to bake down the noise+ramp, then feed that image to the transparence color channel when using your gltf.

    • @ZJ.Design

      It should be searchable if you press shift+A in the node editor. Multiply is just a “Math” node, and AO,roughness, metallness maps are image textures, they use custom png or tiffs that you made for your model. If you have just values than it will be exported by default I think.
