Like the title says, permanent crashes when rendering volumes+OIDN denoiser with GPU in 3ds Max.
Was able to pinpoint the issue in the attached scene. Also debug log included
Drivers, maxtoa etc. all up to date...
Cant attach the vdb file

Would appreciate some help in this matter, thank you

Your .vdb file loads and renders with both denoisers on my machine.
I'm not up to date on drives.

Your log states that Arnold can't find the vdb dll file, in:
unable to load dynamic library c:/programdata/autodesk/applicationplugins/maxtoa_2022\openvdb.dll
I assume this file is located in this directory, else try a reinstall

Hi,

Thanks for the report and for the repos. This bug should be fixed in Arnold-7.1.2.1 onwards. That corresponds to MaxToA version 5.3.1.5 onwards. Could you try upgrading and trying again?

 

Cheers,

Dec

Hello and thank you for the support.
Sadly still crashing. With the latest update the save i uploaded renders the volume, but not the volume in my current projects.
Tried to pin point again to upload a smaller save, but no luck so far.
Also the crash changed from just the generic memory error to straight desktop crash without any error window.
Verbose log attached

Thanks for trying that, good to know it at least fixed the simple case. The new crash seems like it could be another problem. Thanks for providing the log, its always a great place to help us start diagnosing the issue. Unfortunately, I don't see anything too suspicious in the log. So its difficult for me to come up with any ideas as to the cause of the new crash. I'm happy to try any scene you may have that reproduces the crash, the simpler the better though of course.

Pin pointed roughly to the same scene down.
Have the latest udpate from yesterday installed.
Also the vdb for the volume

Seems fine here.

You need to upload frames 175 and 176 to test those. Use the Archive option to save everything that is needed.
