Hi all,
new to this forums and have spent some time searching for my response, so apologies in advance if there's already a lot of info on this topic!
My problem is with the mantra renderer, after running Apprentice for around 6 months with few problems if any, I've recently noticed a dramatic slowdown in rendering time. Even a newly created sphere with no shaders applied will take up to 1 minute to render (before it would be rendered as soon as I lifted my finger off the mouse button)
The other problem of note is that my Render Region function has stopped working and usually crashes or freezes houdini.
Doing a render proper results in an error message 9 times out of 10 as follows:
“IMG_TileWrite::socketWrite: No error
mantra: Error writing data to image device”
I've downloaded all my latest nvidia drivers and windows 7 updates as well, and I don't seem to be experiencing a problem with any of my other software.
My machine:
Windows 7 64bit
Intel Core i7 CPU 920@ 2.67Hgz
6.00 GB Ram
Nvidia GTX 275
I'm using the newest build of apprentice (595)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
