Glad to hear that the issue is gone, hope you enjoy CC, iClone, Cartoon Animator : )
Actually both my ConceptD and my OMEN laptop shut down due to overheating if I try to render a scene in higher quality over a longer time. Therefore I'm really concerned about the GPU being used for no reason by the software. However, currently I get the impression as if the software is throwing away a significant portion of the computing power. On the other hand, when rendering with iRay I don't see the GPU load going beyond 50% on average which is also a bit strange - the systems overheat nonetheless. A setting to limit the use of both GPU and CPU would also be helpful because it would allow to render scenes, even if it takes longer. To avoid the overheating an even simpler approach would work: just add two input for "Pause for X minutes/second after Y frames (or minutes)." In these pauses load should go down to 0, to allow the system to cool down quickly.
Yes, the checkbox "Reduce Idle Load" was already ticked. Once I open iClone, no project loaded, just the empty initial default project, I get 5% GPU minimum and the fans turn louder within 25 seconds. As long as I only have iClone open it rarely peaks to 100%, but it does. Once I open CC3 as well, they both peak to 100% quite frequently.
Yes, that's on the ConceptD I can check it on my HP OMEN, too, later today.
Hi Alexis, Thank you for reporting this issue. We will try to reproduce this issue with similar environment. Does this issue happen on your ConceptD CN715-71P? The laptop you reported in previous issue. If it's on another machine then we will need the system information again. Also, can you help us to check if the Reduce Idle Load is activate? https://manual.reallusion.com/iClone_7/ENU/Content/iClone_7/7.6/04_Introducing_the_User_Interface/Reducing_GPU_Load.htm Irving Reallusion
