[RV480.1447] Thea for SketchUp 2017 and older

Is it a constantly reproducible scenario with a specific scene? If yes and we can follow your instructions to reproduce the problem with a specific scene then we can of course fix this.

I'll try different scenes on my home 1070 rig and check if this is reproducible.
With the same file on my office Titan X rig (same thea4SU version, same nvidia driver), it works flawlessly (presto MC bucketed network render).
This is very weird.

EDIT: I've got the same error on my Titan X rig so I guess is a file or scene issue.
I'll dig it.

You may have stored rendering settings in a scene. When you select it, they are getting loaded, hence bucket may get disabled. Isn't it no the case?

Nope. The error was due to a corrupted component. I'm sorry. Nothing to do with the version of the plugin.
Nevertheless it would be easier if Thea console log could precise where the error comes from...

[Anthony]

Well even if it is a corrupt component it would be good to know what the corrupt component was so that we can take this into account. The defacto rule is always render no matter what happens. So if we need to add a contingency scenario here it would be useful to know just what that issue was.

I successfully cornered and nailed the culprit component/proxy.
The error is totally 100% reproducible. It's even funny because the first time I launch the bucket Presto render it detects the VRAM correctly (but without using the GPU for rendering), and the second time it says not enough memory (component=3Mb vs Titan X VRAM=12Gb) lololol
Do you want me to send you the file?

[Anthony]

That would be very helpful indeed

[quickit]

Did you find anything?

[Tomasz]

Did you find anything?

Yes, the proxy uses Fresnel ramp in an emitter. This is not supported yet and there wasn't a "safety check" for this, so it results in a crash.

Ok thanks Tomasz for the hint
