Blender 2.63.5 - Fastest build (All but 3.0 CUDA kernels)
Blender 2.63 fastest build with CUDA support, now with all CUDA kernels (except version 3.0)....
After having moved my HD to another board, I've had a hard time setting everything up again, but the wait is over....
Here is Blender Fastest build, now compiled with all CUDA Kernels, for complete GPU support.It doesn't matter whether you just got a brand-new Nvidia Card, or (like me) you're happy with your 9800 GT: this build should work with any CUDA-Capable card (except those that use CUDA kernel version 3.0).
About old GPUs and CUDA problems:
If CUDA doesn't work with your GPU, go to Render panel, and change Feature Set, from "Supported" to "Experimental".
About the Contrib Add-Ons
The Contrib Add-Ons are now in a separated category called "Testing"
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Ideasman42/ProposalAddonsContrib
I've carried out render tests of different scenes using Blender's Internal Rederer, and comparing this to many other x64 (and even x86 optimized) builds, and renders were always faster using this optimized build, that's compiled right from the trunk, therefore without any cut-outs.
Tested on Windows 7 x64, Core 2 Duo E7500 running at default clock. (2.93 GHZ)
Please, test it in your machine and give feedback about its performance.
Enabled features:
Built-ins:
Bundled Python
Game Engine
Blender Player
Cycles Render Engine (CPU and CUDA)
Codecs:
FFMPeg
libsndfile (not tested)
FFTW3 support (Used for smoke and audio effects)
Imaging:
CINEON and DPX Image Support
DDS
image FrameServer Support for rendering
HDR Image Support
OpenEXR
OpenJpeg
RedCode
TIFF
Other features:
Physics Engine
3D Mouse
Best LZMA compression, (used for pointcache)
Fast LZO compression (used for pointcache)
OpenCollada Support
OpenMP support, for Parallel code execution
SSE optimizations for the ray Tracer (not tested if it's actually effective)
Samplerate conversion
SDL support (sound and joystick)
International fonts and text (I18N)
Features that aren't available:
Jack support, QuickTime

KeyingSets UI - Improving button layout for legibility of buttons
* Use custom names for the keying options enum. The old automated layout dumped out lengthy names which didn't work well with the limited UI widths we were using, leading to all the interesting stuff getting cropped out * Moved the "array target" options to be in line with the rest of the target specification stuff. I've ended up flattening that set of options into a single row, which seems to work quite well. * Removed label from grouping method enum. There was a perfectly good section header above, and with narrow UI's, the name of this and the one below ended up looking the same/confusing. |

Fix issue with linked dupli objects not being displayed in the viewport, if they
have no object bounding box. Better fix will be to figure out why they are the bounding boxes are not made. Thanks to Campbell to tracking down the commit that caused this. |

modal operation for bevel and inset:
This commit adds some first building blocks for the two operators to work modally based on mouse input. To make their function easier, two hotkeys are introduced, Ctrl+B for bevel and I for inset. TODO: After discussion with Campbell, we would like to add scale-style line indicators for the operators. This is already done for transform operators but a new interface for mesh operations may have to be written using pieces from that code since, strictly speaking bevel and inset are not exactly "transform" operators. Also, a better input method for inset is needed and more options exposed. The method implemented right now uses mouse move for thickness and ctrl-mouse move for depth. These are calculated using the distance of the selection center in screen space and the mouse position. While that may work and prevents abrupt changes in values when switching from thickness tweak mode to depth tweak mode, it limits the magnitude of values that can be put into the tool especially in small or large scale. Alternatives until a better method is written include: * use relative offset (works but may give strange results) * tweak manually after the operation. |

Fix #31369 (discussed in bug report comments). Setting the path/layer name strings of the file/layer slots of the file output node would crash, due to missing id.data pointer in the PointerRNA. Solved by using the iter->parent.id.data pointer for the RNA collection iterator.

Note 1: It requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64) to be installed
Note 2: A small add-on is you can launch Blender from AN_Priority.bat (located in the same folder than the Blender executable).
This simply runs Blender with priority set to "ABOVENORMAL", and is useful if you have heavy tasks running in background, and want Blender to have precedence to use processor's resources.As stated above, the bat is just a small add-on: It isn't, in any way, the reason why this build is faster than the other ones.
Still, the render tests I've done were performed WITHOUT launching Blender with high priority.

I wanted to see how the different latest builds compare on my system W7 x64 i2600k not overclocked and GTX580
I first tried a BI rendering of a complex scene with many shadows and reflections :
1) r46561 by alb3530 : 16.80s
2) r46461 official 2.63a : 18.60s
3) r46534 by bat3a : 19.15s
Then tested the BMW1M Benchmark
1) r46534 by bat3a : 29.81s
2) r46561 by alb3530 : 35.28s
3) r46461 official 2.63a : 40.82s
Interesting results... and many thanks to all builders !

hmm not sure about that, me no computing engineer lol!
but since now haven't have the support for Cuda 3.0 kernel,
it's good time to save up the money if u intend on getting either GTX 680 or 690
it's kinda meh if u buy either of the cards and found out it doesn't have the suppport for ur fav. apps/programs
like, u buy a Bluray player but there's no Bluray disc for ur fav movie yet.

@jkbwq,
Thanks for the reply.
What i meant, in fact, was about the Cuda version : does 3.0 cards support other Cuda versions ?
(i have now just a GT 330m... but i envisage to buy another pc, just for blender... so 680, or why not 690, could be a solution... but only if blender can work with them !!)

@Alikendarfen -
it just mean support for cards using 3.0 kernels (currently GeForce GTX 680 and 690 only) doesn't have much support yet,
since these 2 cards are expensive, most here in release builds/releases haven't got their hands on them
just wait for those developers who can afford these card to do their magic

Tested on my GT 330m (yes... a small card, cuda 1.2, driver 296.10).
For small scene, all is ok and fast (3 times faster than CPU). But with a bigger one, windows crashes : blue screen.

Just a question concerning Cuda support : "all but 3.0"... does it mean that 3.0 kernels could cause problem in the future (or for the official releases) ?

ok FINALLY found a solution:
roll back to previous driver version..
for my case, 270.61
now real-time viewport rendering with GPU works fine (both Supported & Experimental)

tungerz: We could compile that kernel too, but one of the requirements is Cuda 4.1 toolkit, which has proven to provide slower render times...
Maybe there's some way to do compile using different toolkits i.e. 3.0 with Cuda 4.1 and other kernels with Cuda 4.0....

I have a problem with the wire. I checked in the properties of wire mesh, but there is a part of the mesh is visible.
I have a GTS 250, I checked experimental GPU, but it is "out of memory" or the texture is black, is it still called Cuda 1.3 (my cuda is 1.1). This is in the window, or rendering. Yet it works with a simple cube to boot windows ...
For the stage of the BMW I can enable rendering to the window but I can not make the scene ...
In the render if I put on the display image editor, in rendering if I press the escape key blender crash ... (all versions since BMesh)
Windows 7 professional 64bit, GeForce GTS 250 512Mo, 2 screens, AMD Quad core and 8 Go RAM

Actually I take that back, I don't need to select "experimental", Blender uses the GPU with "supported" as well. Until I updated my drivers I didn't have the option to select GPU from the drop down in the render settings and I didn't notice because I switched to "experimental" as I was updating drivers.
10:46 March 3rd, 2012
Im running this on a laptop with an Nvidia 560m GTX, win 7 64 bit. What I've noticed is no difference between using the GPU or CPU, whether I select CUDA or OpenCL in user preferences. However if I change to "experimental" feature set in the render settings, then select GPU as the render device there, it renders nearly twice as fast.
It seems to me that it's not actually using the GPU unless I select "experimental" feature set, just in case anyone has the same issue.
I have the very latest Nvidia drivers, released on Feb 21 2012

after 2.62 release I have still unexpected quit from blender when trying to open any option tab related to cycles or gpu or cuda :(
15:24 February 12th, 2012
Hi anyone,
I got this to see if I could get Cycles to run on my GPU (Nvidia NVS 4200m, CUDA 2.1) but it only shows OpenCL in User Prefs (and that fails because version is only 1.0).
Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a problem because my system has Optimus? (Intel integrated graphics+Nvidia NVS 4200m) I have set Blender to always use Nvidia...

Hey alb3530,
Sorry that I've missed the latest changes in the Blender builds about my problem the last time I've posted, I missed the new options on User Prefs from
User Preferences > System > Compute Device > CUDA > select your GPU, For users too that missed out this option this was just the problem...

I keep trying to get this figured out. I can't seem to get layers to work in Cycles. From the release logs and bug fixes, this looks like it should work. I downloaded rev. 43973 and I still can't seem to get objects on different layers to render separately.
Could someone set up a scene with three cubes, each on three different layers, and try to render that? Maybe post the file? From what I can tell, this should work and you should be able to render separate layers out just fine.

I'm sorry for multiposting : I was looking for my message at the bottom of the page, without noticing that recent messages were on top ! So I thought it wasn't sent ! My bad !
09:24 February 7th, 2012
Thanks for the effort. It is my first trial with the multi GPU mode with Blender, and it doesn't behave as I expected :
The preferences allow the use of one of the available GPUs, or all the GPUs, but it is not possible to use Two of Three available GPUs for example. I have one GTX 260 for display, and Two GTX 580 3GB for rendering, and I can't use the Two GTX 580. Except if I select all GPUs, but the rendering time is equal or worse than with only one GTX 580, and I think that the availlable memory amount will be the amount of the weakest card, so I would like to use the two big cards and exclude the GTX 260 (like I do with Octane). I tested with Cuda. OpenCL gives only a black screen.
My config : Win7x64Pro. IntelQuadXtreme9650.3GHz. 8GB RAM. One GTX 260 for display. Two GTX 580-3GB for rendering, in a Cubix-Xpander Pro2.

use blender 2.61 official for the city gen.
I would expect it to be updated for blender 2.62 offical.

http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=25901
I just noticed that in the newer builds the old selection CPU/GPU combo box is changed to Supported/Experimental... sorry for that I was using the old builds (Rev 42885) which was more faster when rendering cycles in preview mode using GPU.
and this is my test scene I uploaded it here - http://www.pasteall.org/blend/11434

Is it performing slowly in all scenes?

Setting to choose GPU rendering seems to be missing for me, is it a UI bug? I can select to use my GPU in previous builds fine, but this one forces me to use CPU.
12:03 February 4th, 2012
nash88 and ponc: Give me a test scene to look into....
A .blend file, and if not asking too much, a render time comparison between mine and other x64 build...
I've tested here with some scenes, and render times aren't slower in this very build actually...But I'm on a 9800 GT (old GPU)

@nash88 - does it deliver you passes with GPU rendering?
@alb3530 - it occured to me that maybe I'd see if passes render with CPU and guess what, it worked. Still, it refuses to deliver them with GPU on my GTX460SE and CPU rendering is dead slow compared to GPU. ;]

06:12 February 3rd, 2012
your builds are great, even the first time I downloaded... but it becomes slow on cycles, mine is gtx460 the other builds have faster renders... please just bring back the old settings for cycles, coz i think it's better to select manual than automatic... thanks and more power to your builds...
05:38 February 3rd, 2012
Your builds always worked fine for me( thanks a lot!), but the last ones (till 5889) got very slow in rendering with Cycles (gtx560ti). As other builds (a.i. tungerz) at the moment are a lot faster, I guess something has changed in your build. 5740 was the last one for me with fast rendering.
05:16 February 3rd, 2012
@alb3530 - well, the file can be downloaded here: http://www.benchmark.cd3dtech.com/benchmark.zip I don't really think it's a scene related problem, but maybe I'm wrong. I'm downloading the current build to see if passes will work on my machine now. My GPU is GTX460 SE. Let me know if passes render for you with this scene, please.
15:42 February 2nd, 2012
hi, I'd appreciate if you can trim your tittle, ie: "Multi GPU, Cucumber Merging, Double Edge Mask Node, Remesh Modifier, Carve Booleans, UVTools And Cycles Render Passes" all of this is standard trunk, let's leave the nice descriptions for inside the build! cheers
14:09 February 2nd, 2012
I just wanted to throw out there, in case anyone else had this problem, that on older GPUs with older CUDA kernels, you have to set the "Feature Set" option to "experimental". I'd searched for days for a resolution to the "error|cuda device supported only with compute capability 1.3 or up, found 1.1" issue, and finally found it in the middle of all these posts. Maybe add this detail to the top of the details section of the build information?
My blender works again. All is well with the world. Thanks to the devs and all you guys who are "just putting together builds". As far as I'm concerned, you could all be saying "I'm just a brain surgeon- I didn't actually create the brain"!

I have a question about cycles multi gpu support: I have a geforce 590 (dual gpu) + 8800 gtx, i use the 8800 generally for physics and other quick calcs, i would like to set the render to use the 2 gpus of the 590 and not the 8800 (low memeory causes problems) i found out i can only use the whole 3 or just 1, how can i set it to use the 2 gpus of the 590 and not the third of 8800?
Thank you!

@alb3530: thanks for Your time nad effort, it's indeed a weird way of going thru it but if it works then I need do the same (as soon as I'll realize what exactly should be done with theese virtual machines;) but anyway...I can enter User Preferences but choosing 'System' tab results crash. I've tried some builds (including official 2.61 and Yours) before moving None/CUDA/OpenCL option menu from main interface Render tab to User Pref.->System and all working good. Tried to save as default the Supported or Experimental Cpu/GPU combnation but none has worked. The very first builds with the 'new' none/cuda/opencl menu have worked perfectly from what I remember. Maybe it's sth strange with default set on that 'new' menu in current builds? I have GTS 250M - not so popular mobile geforce model.

I could reproduce (and fix) this problem, but in a odd way....
1 - Started my machine from a virtual disk (Containing Windows 7 x64)
2 - Started Blender, set Geforce 9800 GT as the compute device in "User Preferences"; and saved settings;
3 - Turned the machine off and started a virtual machine with the very same virtual disk (Given that virtual machine can't see PCI devices, so the GPU is unavailable to it).That simulates the removal of the card.Maybe changing the GPU model would cause the same issue;
4 - Went to Blender "User Preferences", which caused blender to crash instantly (exception code: C0000005)
5 - Started Blender again, and loaded factory settings.After that, I could open all tabs of "User Preferences" screen.

This build stops rendering on my machine at random places, sometimes at the very beginning of render, sometimes well after several hundred or even thousand passes and returns the following errors in the console:
CUDA error: Unknown error in cuCtxSynchronize()
CUDA error: Unknown error in cuMemFree(cuda_device_ptr(mem.device_pointer))
The second line is being repeated about ten times. After these errors, GPU and memory clocks are severely set back, like it was messing with a driver in some way, and they won't go up upon next render, or even launching stable build. I have to reboot my PC, maybe reloading video driver would help, but didn't check it.
cheers,
Matt

@alb3530: Tested with nearly the same revision. Your r43704 and from builder bot the r43705 both win7 64bit.
- Scene with default cube
- switch render engine to "Blender Game"
- Press the button "render" -> "standalone player" -> "Start"
Than there should be the standalone player coming up. In the build bot version it's ok. But in your version the player doesn't show up, but is running without any window.
You have to kill the proces "blenderplayer.exe" to reactivate blender. Until this blender seems frozen (is waiting only to the ending of the player)
Will try your r43736 now.

@alb3530: I've posted recently on bat3a x64 thread same issue: from 2~3 weeks till todays builds I cannot fully use Blender and Cycles. Blender crashes when: with Cycles activated I click on 'Render' tab in standard right panel, press F12, press Ctrl+Alt+U and click 'System' tab ->all crashes related to CPU/GPU/Cycles. I have all MSVC++2008 installed, latest nvidia drivers, Cuda 4.1 toolkit. What can cause the problem in Your opinion? Older Cycles builds works.

Why there is no option to choose the gpu render device ? In previous versions it worked correctly now there is only supported and experimental both CPU

Conz, I'll test it when I'm back home....Have you tested with another build, but having same revision?
03:41 January 26th, 2012
Thak you for your builds.
There is a problem with the new "render" -> "standalone player" -> "start".
The player will not be visible, it is running in background and blender looks like frozen. (it simply wait that you end the not visible player)
So you have to kill the process with task manager.
I have tested this version: http://builder.blender.org/download/
And there the player is working fine. So it's a problem with your build.

Everything set up again, all CUDA Kernels are available...
Slower rendering with recent builds when using GPU (CUDA) should be adressed soon.It's up to Blender developers though, not me.

Hi thanks for your great builds!
Cycles GPU rendering (CUDA) on my GeForce GTX 560 Ti always worked, however in build 43575 I now get
CUDA error: Invalid value in cuMemcpyHtoD(mem, host, size)
It shows up in the viewport after the "Building BVH..." phase and on the console. Happens also when rendering the scene with F12. CPU rendering however is fine. Seems to be independent from the scene (happens with default cube also).
NVIDIA driver version is 290.53, but I didn't change the driver since testing the build before this one, where CUDA rendering still worked fine. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit.
Is anybody experiencing the same problem?

@AlexDS: just go to render settings tab, first ctrl+alt+u ->system and there in left-down corner choose Cuda/what card You have. Then go to standard panel and in render type settings switch from 'Supported/GPU Compute' to 'Experimental/GPU Compute' as GTS has older/unsupported from some time version of Cuda kernel.

going in User Preferences -> System, done it now ,set Compute device correctly.
i have GeForce GTS 250 1.1 Compute Capability
in system console is says " Cuda device supported only with compute compatibility 1.3 or up, found 1.1 "
" it is recommended to use a GTX 4xx or GTX 5xx card (shader model 2.x), since only those are likely to give good speedup, earlier cards are often slower than just using the CPU." http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Do.../GPU_Rendering
with my GTS 250 1.1 computing i rendered at twice-speed faster (when it worked) than with my i5 720 4-core CPU...
does it means that form now on i won't be having gpu rendering on my machine ?

Any ideas on this?

As for the C++ Runtime, I have downloaded SP1 (I wasn't aware that there's any) and this problem seems to be gone.
As for the display driver issue, it's probably geometry-related. When I work with the same file, switch to another layer containing some simple meshes and then turn on the Rendered View, it's OK. When I change layers back, it usually works (reluctantly, though - it's a massive architectural file, roughly 3×3 km, with probably a few hundreds of buildings), but does crash sometimes. I'll post a screenshot of error and the console.

It regularly gives me a C++ Runtime error, when I switch to 3D View from Node View. I have to open a duplicate window, to be able to edit nodes. Sometimes, a mere click in the icon for changing window content, when in Nodes View, gives this error. Blender crashes in this case, of course. I'll check, if updating C++ runtime libraries (if there are any updates?) alleviates the problem.
Also, for particularly geometry intensive scenes, it crashes and returns an error that Nvidia OpenGL driver timed out. Not sure if it's driver, or implementation related. I'm on GTX 460 SE, recently updated drivers.

Hey alb3530,
yeh so basically I was having this problem of when solving a track, the solve would give an error value of 500-2000, and it was unuseable. Submitted a bug report and nazgul replied saying it was a problem with c-make and that it would be fixed in revision 42309, as stated here:
"Fix #29469: Latest motion tracking not working.
It was error in CMakeLists.txt caused by automatic bundling script which
expanded variables instead of substituting them as-is.
Fixed both of bundling script and CMakeLists.txt"
He also refered me to the official build bot build which i downloaded, which works. So making sure that it was past revision 42309, i downloaded this build, and it seems the fix has not been effective . If you can't find the solution, ill submit another ticket for nazgul and notify him that it was not effective.

After working on my models after a little while it would not let me loop cut. Everytime I press Ctrl+R it wouldnt let me no matter what. I then tried other version including 2.49 with the same problem. Have to restart PC to be able to do it again. Also when opening my .blends from this build to another build the objects would be resized and/or moved.

I find this particular build problematic. For one, the .blend I made with this version seems corrupted when I open it with your older builds. Objects are moved around in a weird way. For two, rendering starts nicely but fails at some point with some generic "OpenGL driver bla bla failed" message. I am using Cycles with CUDA. Rendering within viewport works fine, only the proper rendering fails. Also rendering with CPU works fine.
Here I uploaded the problematic .blend and screenshots, anyone feel free to mess with it.

03:59 November 27th, 2011
Yep, first thanks for reading :)
I ll try to explain with my bad english:
- add a subsurf modifier on the default cube
- Open your CPU inspector
- Press Alt + A in blender to launch animation
- duplicate your cube
- Your fps will go down faster (depend of your CPU), you can set the fps to 60 to see the affect faster
- when your fps begin to go down, watch your CPU inspector
- You are "out" of cpu, but only 1 cpu is working at 100%, others are about 5/10%
- I tried with other build (OpenMP SSE2 build for windows 32b, here on graphicall), and my fps is really better with the same scene
- all of my CPU works together computing the subdivision surface of my cubes (1 cpu 100%).
- Gain is something like 300% faster in viewport for me
Thanks again
I ll try to explain with my bad english:
- add a subsurf modifier on the default cube
- Open your CPU inspector
- Press Alt + A in blender to launch animation
- duplicate your cube
- Your fps will go down faster (depend of your CPU), you can set the fps to 60 to see the affect faster
- when your fps begin to go down, watch your CPU inspector
- You are "out" of cpu, but only 1 cpu is working at 100%, others are about 5/10%

boby: Can you explain it with more details?I've tried subsurfacing five cubes with six subdivisions, and processor usage was high when both rendering and moving them....
07:11 November 25th, 2011
"OpenMP support, for Parallel code execution"
Doesn't work here. Not SSE2 optimized.
I tried on a simple scene with subdivides cube(subsurf), and only one core works (13% of my CPU)
Optimized SSE2 build use about 60% on the same scene.
Cpu : Sandy bridge 2600K
Could you do that?
Thanks

Hi!
Thanx for the compilation. How you succedeed ? i tried MSVC 2010 (Express&Ultimatum), 2008 and still get boots library linking error-libthread etc.
so compilation fails...

is there anyone here that could please make a version of blender capable of using the CAL 3D exporter or be able to export to IMVU (thats the one i export to the most)? i need it to export to some games and so far i have to go through a whole system of things before im able to bring it into the games. please help :D
07:12 November 23rd, 2011
@alb3530,
do you want the video footage i am tracking packed as well.??
Here is what is happening in detail.
Load up this build,
open video file.
leave it at 250 frames for the scene, just for testing purposes, do a "detect features' and then track all markers for 250 frames. got around 20-50 tracked markers. Set camera data (nikon d7000, 24mm, set for tracking as well as scene camera) . add camera solver function to scene camera. select A and B frames. solve (some times crashes, not new) --- result is massive error with scene camera barely moving.
** just tried with default camera settings, this time the camera actually moved, although still had severe problems (jumping).
^ tracked on KLT.
Tracked this same footage in previous Tomato branch, no problem.

00:51 November 23rd, 2011
Just to let you know, unless i am doing something wrong and the process for 3D solving has changed in the tracker, but it doesn't work (KLT or SAD), tried on footage i have tracked in previous versions of tomato 64 bit, no work. tons of great markers, using SAD and KLT. What happens is after solve, play through, the camera rotates a bit on its position but has no 3D movement. , aswell, getting massive average error (130 to 595919235) , on this particular footage on old tomato, I was able to get a low error of 0.2 ! now no worky, This is r42051 btw, just downloaded latest. Thanks
10:03 November 22nd, 2011
Dobz - I tried what you suggested and it seemed to give me a different error now. The console showed a kernel error when I tried running it from a directory w/o spaces in it.
To all who helped - Thank you very much for all the responses, I'm assuming this error thing is about Cycles being a work-in-progress feature so I'll just watch out for any future fixes for it (or better yet, switch to an nVidia card soon...need to save up still though XD).
Thanks for your awesome efforts,

@alb3530: Ok, found the changing option, stupid me ;) . But the only change is, that with GPU rendering my system totaly starts lagging, thread detection stays with the 8 cores and preview rendering also has the same time it takes to render an image, just with GPU rendering I can't work with the maschine anymore, because I get a dia show. With CPU rendering I can work nicely. Thx again...
05:13 November 22nd, 2011
@alb3530: I have Nvidia Cuda Driver 285.62. On Gpu-Z it says 48 shaders, if that's where it states the cores, while I know the amount of cuda cores from the specs-sheet from Nvidia, where it states, that the GT330M has 48 GPU-cores. In this build I can't find the option to change between CPU and GPU rendering, it used to be under "performance" in the render option panel, or am I misstaken? I still only get 8 cores, so I'm guessing it's getting the hyperthreaded cores from my quadcore i7 CPU. Thx in advance again...
04:41 November 22nd, 2011
To everyone with OpenCL issues: make sure Blender is in a path that does not contain any spaces. This is a bug that is in the bug tracker and is hopefully being worked on. Alternatively if you have an NVIDIA card, just use CUDA to avoid any problems with OpenCL.

Hi, I tried using this build today and I say it's really great! Although I have this problem, I couldn't use Cycles when I switch the Device from CPU to OpenCL GPU. It only gives me a black output, pitch black.
Is there anyone here who have the same problem? Or better yet is there anyone here who solved the problem already?
Thx in advance! :)

Speroangelus: It seems like your drivers are very outdated, as the latest version is 285.62....
You might want to go to http://www.geforce.com/Drivers and update the drivers....
Also, what application are you using to check CUDA Cores?Is it GPU-Z?
brick: Try to download now and let me know...If even so you can't, I strongly sugget you to contact your ISP, as you've stated you can't download the file even using a proxy server..

Hello,
I have notebook with a Cuda graphicscard, that's supposed to have 48 GPU-cores and an i7-CPU quadcore (emulated 8 cores).
When I use autodetection for Cuda I still only get 8 cores, could it be that only my CPU's cores are detected instead of the GPU's.
I've had this with every build of Cycles I've tried so far.
Has anyone an idea that might help me?
Thanks alot for these great builds though love it.

Hey Alb, I've always loved your Fastest builds and I'm really excited to see you putting Cycles in them (I've always looked forward to having a Fastest Cycles.) This is very exciting stuff, and it was only a matter of time.
However, your Cycles Fastest is NOT THE Fastest. That's because there is no GPU CUDA rendering here.
You make a Fastest, and make it so that NVidia Cuda cards can run on GPU, you'll have a smash hit on your hands. And if you apply all the little tricks you've done to BI to get your Fastests, you'll have an army of Cycles addicts like me sending you love poetry.

Sorry quys!
I am not very good using Cycles yet and I just made little mistake.
I didn´t know that you can´t create or upload new image in Edit Mode if you are not added Texture Coordinate node to your object.
I can create new image in Object Mode, but I can´t do it in Edit Mode to specific object without adding Texture Coordinate node in Node Editor.
In blender Internal Render this was posibble.
Hopefully you get my idea =D

hi, if you look at my build here: http://www.graphicall.org/82
It includes the External scripts & some more stuff.
Basically it's your build with the extra scripts & file structure added.
If you can contact me on irc freenode #blenderpython
I can help with issues that sometimes arise with the scripts/modules or any other info you may require. :)

kayskywalker, I'd tried to use a build with that addon before, and that addon was the only one that couldn't be checked....
But as far I can remember, that one was some 2.58 build

thanks, by the way, blender 2.59 doesn't support 'export to after effect addon' anymore? i can't find that addon anywhere.

@holy enigma: I was thinking about this before, but having someone asking for it was enough for me to include the addons....
Thanks for the suggestions
I'm thinking about including external addons soon as well...

It's done, meta-androcto...Contrib scripts are now separated, in fact it improved performance of addons window when it was maximized.It was very slow with all the scripts in the same folder....Thank you for the tip!

hi, could you please add the contrib scripts into a folder 259/scripts/addons_contrib.
this is much nicer than all the scripts in the one folder.

would be cool if you started putting the contrib and extrenal addon scripts into your builds
and adding lux render, yafaray and mitsuba exporter.
Maybe have 2 builds "fastest lite" without all the addons.. and
maybe something like "fastest complete with external addons/lux, yafaray, mitsuba exporter" or something :)
(it would basically be like the nice bat3a's builds, just with a faster blender internal render,
would the build optimizations make external renders faster as well? hmmm dont know)

A few percent is nothing... Limit of CPU is reached.
Blender has to be OpenCL entirely - composer, rendering (Cycles), animation playback and so on. Graphics card MUST accelerate calculations.

Nice. Rendered a simple scene with volumetric materials, indirect lighting and no compositing 5 min 14 sec vs. 5 min 49 sec with r38423. ASUS Win 7 intel core i7 ATI HD5870 6GB notebook.
Feeling talkative?
