Description

What is Cycles?
Cycles is a ray tracing renderer focused on interactivity and ease of use, while still supporting many production features.

Contacts

Cycles Discourse forum.
Cycles mailing list, and also the Blender Developers list.
IRC channel #cycles and #blendercoders on irc.freenode.net
Bug reports and patches are to be filed against Cycles project

Documentation
Manuals for both Artists and Developers are available.

Development
Cycles is officially under the Blender Foundation umbrella, and so is developed on developer.blender.org. Source code is available either as standalone repository or as bundled into Blender sources.

To clone Cycles together with blender please consult BF Blender project.

To clone Cycles source from stadalone repository as read-only use:

git clone git://git.blender.org/cycles.git

To clone as read-write (needs ssh key):

git clone git@git.blender.org:cycles.git

Browse code
Online browse of sources is available for:

Nanomanpro added a comment to T55543: Bool is not visible in the render if one of the objects in the second window is in local view.

Hi. it seems that this situation occurs only when we render scene in the same window, but when we render to a new window everything looks good:

Riccardo Giovanetti (harvester) added a comment to T52572: CUDA Illegal address errors Windows.

I started experiencing such an issue after I updated one week ago my Win10 Pro 64bit OS from Build 1511 to 1803 on an ASUS G752VS notebook (NVIDIA GeForce 1070). Reinstalling the graphics drivers (398.11) with a clean install didn't fix the issue. The error appears randomly when switching the 3D View to Rendered mode; closing and restarting blender and re-opening the same .blend project file usually allows the GPU to render without errors.
The Blender version is 2.79b 64bit official portable release; the same issue appears on the latest buildbot releases 2.79.4.
The following are screenshots of the issue appearing after switching the 3D View to Rendered mode inboth Blender 2.79b and 2.79.4:

In the latter screenshot I first did a full render successfully then I tried to switch the 3D View to Rendered and the error was triggered. Hope this helps.

Philipp Oeser (lichtwerk) assigned T55549: Object with z scale of 0 appears black at certain angles to Sergey Sharybin (sergey).

Can confirm the behavior, not sure though if there is a reasonable fix.

Uninstalling „Nvidia Experience“ does not fix the problem to me.
Cuda Error in line 1712 still occurs in complex scenes.
I `m using a Zotac GTX1080TI, Windows 7, latest Nvidia driver and all Blender versions (nightly builds, RC and Release versions. Modifying the reg keys does not help also.
Im sure that I did never had this issue with my older graphic card GTX 1080 (without TI)
It seems that some code is not able to get or copy/clean the content into/from the vram which is higher than 8GB (for me the main different to the older card).

Seems like GPU only then.
Could it be that you are running out of GPU memory?
(if I look at my NVIDIA Server Settings I have it peaking at a little less than 2 GIGs -- which might be a little too much for the GTX 650 Ti...)
