[Bf-cycles] Bf-cycles Digest, Vol 6, Issue 14

[Andrew Price]

Thanks for the fast response Brecht :)

*>Are there any errors in the console?"*
Yes, the error I receive is:
*"CUDA error: Out of memory in cuLaunchGrid(cuPathTrace, xblocks, yblocks)"*

*>Cycles expects latlong maps, is that the format you used?*
No I used Angular. Thanks for clarifying that. I'll use LatLong in the
future.

Cheers!
