Hello

I've encountered a very strange Mantra issue.
I have a long render sequence and Mantra renders it just fine, but the problem is It suddenly stops for absolutely
no obvious reason.

interrupt it and hit “Render to disk”, It starts rendering till It stops again, around 6 to 300 frames ahead randomly.

and this story goes on and on.
I cached out the entire geometry and red it back with no luck. the same rendering interruption.

please let me know if something is wrong.
thank you

You could investigate the basic culprits, being heat and free disk space.

Monitor your system heat when rendering and make sure you have enough disk space available.

It kind of sounds like your problem might be hardware related. If you have a mechanical disk drive try running/scheduling a surface test. Perhaps one of your cached files is stored on a bad sector..?

thank you for your suggestion.
yes I analyzed every possible aspect, but no clear problem.
hardware was working perfectly.

in fact after a dozens of tries, It suddenly rendered right to the end.
remained mysterious to me.

I have this problem as well.
How do you fix this?

I don't know if it's related to this problem, but I have a similar problem with Mantra freeze ( http://forums.odforce.net/topic/30283-mantra-freezing/ [forums.odforce.net] )

did you use the principledshader or classicshader displcement?


I have a similar problem when i render with shader displcement in H16.0.557

but if i turn off the displacement (Texture or Noise)

this problem seems to be fixed

Try the latest production build [www.sidefx.com], H16.0.663, or the latest daily build [www.sidefx.com], H16.0.666. There was a displacement-related deadlock fixed a couple months ago in H16.0.600.
