I can't render with OPTIX but CUDA is run without any errors not working (-- --cycles-device OPTIX) but without error work (-- --cycles-device OPTIX) why this happened ?
Oukay! My initial feeling was: "There's no such thing as a free lunch!" And guess what: "There IS no such thing!" Running with OPTIX or CUDA will not work (Yes, I enabled the GPU.). Blender just quits with errors... in multiple sessions. Running on the CPU (the only option left) will take around 6 to 7 times longer than my old PC. And it seems that Google Colab slows the render down while it's running. That's exactly what you'd expect from such an environment: A mechanism that prevents people (like us) from grabbing all the resources. And... you can call me pessimistic... but I do not think my 10-hour rendering job will run to completion. Something tells me that Google is going to be fed up with me taking a free ride. Having said that, thanks for pointing this possibility out to us. I really appreciate it.
Thanks a lot! It works a lot faster than before! One thing, I rendered a 2.79 project with this and it worked well...just while it was rendering, it took 4-5 mins. time for loading render kernels. Can you help me out in explaining this?
That’s normal the first time you run blender. Unfortunately, I suspect it will happen each time you run colab so you will only want to run big renders on colab to make that 4-5 minutes worth it. It will only happen once while colab is running as well
I noticed that the Blender 3.0 alpha Linux ver takes more time to download compared to the 3.0 windows ver idk why :( But if you want to use the windows ver tar command won't unzip your file instead use this command !unzip "/content/copy-paste the blender 3.0 zip file's path here" -d "/content/sample_data" this will just unzip the blender file in your sample data folder then you can drag it to your my drive folder (saved precious 10 min of download time LOL )

Hi! Thanks a lot for this solution :) But i'm trying to render a project, and google colab return "device does not support queues" anyone have a solution ? or can explain to me the problem ? ahah
This is a really cool concept, but I'm finding that it's taking over 50% longer on Colab compared to my desktop. I'm running a GTX 1070ti on my desktop that takes a little less than a minute to render a frame, compared to over a minute and a half on Colab (CUDA, GPU). Not sure if I'm doing anything wrong - followed all four of your tuts - which I totally appreciate. My Colab GPU is the Tesla K80. I believe I ran the libtcmalloc update successfully.
Mine starts loading in the materials just fine, but suddenly just stops and writes: ^C Does not reach the stage where it renders, what to do? Use blender 3.4.1
ive got a an Alembic file of a charater that i imported into blender and its working fine in blender but when i render it in colab all the animations dont work any ideas how to solve it ?
It renders extremely slow in colab in my case. Do you know why? It takes 32 seconds to take a single sample while my laptop takes 2 minutes to render 128 samples

Hi all!!!!. Good walkthrough. The first time it worked perfectly for me with a project that I did as a test.

Sorry. I’ve recently updated it to the current release of blender 3.0. On GitHub, you can look at the history of changes I have made to the code if you want to go back to a previous version. Otherwise, you can replace the line of code with the version of blender that you like. Some of my other google colab tutorials explain how to do this.
@@MicroSingularity sorry, I meant that some of the cells show the old version instead of the entirety being blender 3.0. I had replace them myself. I'm using blender 3.0 I came across another issue. The renders aren't being saved in the specified output directory. Instead they're being saved in the My Drive. I can't quite put it if I missed something. Any ideas?
hey man, I got a problem with rendering, so I used the file output to render multilayer EXR file but colab is not rendering that but instead just render a single picture without any denosing or anything, any workaround for that error?
Hi! I have a question. There is a way to change the type of denoiser? I use the Optix one, and its to noisy. Can i change optix to Open Image Denoiser?
Isn't there a way to automate this process so that one has to simply call a python function to do all these step by step? It would be awesome if someone writes a function that hides the complexity from the user so the user only has to enter things like start frame, end frame, destination etc.
@@HeLIEl Yes, because Colab runs on Linux machines, so your windows version wont run. You can try installing a Linux version on Colab and then upload your addons into the correct folders in Colab - not sure if it will work though
@@MicroSingularity did you notice a size limit in the scene, I have a rather big scene and impossible to render it, the process stops when loading all the meshes
I always knew that the optimal tile size in pixels is approximately your rendering device's length in centimetres :P CPUs like small tiles. GPUs like big ones. It's logical, because they're much bigger than CPUs :P
@@MicroSingularity I'm glad someone eventually laughed at this joke. Cuz I think some people took it seriously, opened their PC cases, grabbed their rulers and tried to stick them inside.
Hey. When my render gets to the sample part it stops at the first sample then has a line of code that just says ^C. Is there some thing I did wrong? It rendered fine on my computer even tho it took way longer

can anyone help me
Hi! Thanks a lot for this solution :) But i'm trying to render a project, and google colab return "device does not support queues" anyone have a solution ? or can explain to me the problem ? ahah
have face a problem in code
/bin/bash: sodu: command not found
Sudo
This is a really cool concept, but I'm finding that it's taking over 50% longer on Colab compared to my desktop. I'm running a GTX 1070ti on my desktop that takes a little less than a minute to render a frame, compared to over a minute and a half on Colab (CUDA, GPU). Not sure if I'm doing anything wrong - followed all four of your tuts - which I totally appreciate. My Colab GPU is the Tesla K80. I believe I ran the libtcmalloc update successfully.
Why is this free? I mean are there any limits on how much you can use this?
No Id think so colab is also used for data science
Mine starts loading in the materials just fine, but suddenly just stops and writes:
^C
Does not reach the stage where it renders, what to do?
Use blender 3.4.1
So basically i don't have to invest in nvidia 3090 if I'm only using cycles. I can get a low end 3060 gpu and colab for rendering.
Thanks a lot! I rendered my file but the textures were missing , objects were all pink and a bit transparent . Can you help me out ?
In your blender file you need to go file, external data, pack all in blender file and then save. Then upload the blender file to colab and render
ive got a an Alembic file of a charater that i imported into blender and its working fine in blender but when i render it in colab all the animations dont work any ideas how to solve it ?
It renders extremely slow in colab in my case. Do you know why? It takes 32 seconds to take a single sample while my laptop takes 2 minutes to render 128 samples
very good sir ,but i did the same codes but the render is very slow a 128 sample 2k resolution is taking 1 hour !!!
You’ve got GPU enabled?
@@MicroSingularity yes
Is this works for blender 3.1?
Yeah
I always love your tutorial ❤️ I have one question can we render baked animation of fluid and auto car rigging bake animations in colab???
its googd but colab render my project without textures,, it shows pink ,, what shoud i do?
In your blender file, go file, external data, pack external data and then re upload the blender file to google drive
@@MicroSingularity i did that but same result.. but now i tried with baked textures and mission succesful.. already start rendering
I was trying with Blender 3.1 and i got this error:

Hello sir. Thank you so much for your method. I can render the frame on it. It really works but there is a major problem. When I see the rendered image some of the materials turn purples. the world also doesn't reflect in the render. is there something that I missed? it would be really helpful.
You need to package your textures into the blender file. Go file ->external data->automatically pack data. Save and then re-upload to google drive
@@MicroSingularity ok ill try that and let you know
si tengo add-ons activados tambien se activan en el google colab? es que en el renderizado no se visualiza correctamente el terreno y creo que es por el add-on de "Node-Wrangler"
Is Colab supporting EEVEE?
No. Sorry
Every time I try rendering it fails. What can it be? My last line goes like:
Fra:5 Mem:10763.73M (Peak 10763.73M) | Time:02:21.95 | Mem:5256.52M, Peak:5256.52M | Scene, ViewLayer | Updating Lights | Importance map

^C
With this ^C being automatically generated by the terminal. This happens everytime I try rendering. My setup is using CUDA because it's not compatible with OptiX.
The ^C usually indicates it has run out of memory. Your scene is likely too large
amazing work!
but for some reason i cant render my animation. whenever i try to render more than 1 frames. it only render 1 frame
Question how about buying Google Colab Pro and get more Advanced GPU ? And how can i manage gpu and performances ?
My pc is Windows... Do I still need to download the Linux version and what about the code in colab??
Yes. You can only run the Linux version on colab.
Thank you for your help... U r amazing....
Works great like a magic, Thank you
Error: Found no Cycles device of the specified type
someone help how to fix this
I'm a github user. Is it possible for you to show us how to clone Github, render a Github file and push to Github?
Sir previously i could use OPTIX or CUDA now can not. It's said Device does not support queues in OPTIX and System is out of GPU and shared host memory
Invalid context in cuCtxPopCurrent(NULL) (intern/cycles/device/cuda/util.cpp:31) in CUDA......any work around on this?
I’m working on it. The drivers on colab have been updated and blender is not currently compatible.

@@MicroSingularity Hey, any updates on this by any chance? I've already spent a couple of hours trying to troubleshoot the problem, but with no luck.
By the way, I just want to say that you're doing awesome work, this whole series, included the troubleshooting videos, have been really helpful since there really aren't many other resources for this neat service.

how to use windows how do i use it
You still need to download the Linux version for google colab.
This code is rendering one frame at 16 samples in 10 min , while my computer can do it in 30 seconds , why is this happening
I'm getting this error message when trying to render. "Device does not support queues."
Any idea?
I think I saw that when GPU wasn't selected in the notebook settings
@@MicroSingularity I was running it directly from your GitHub. It worked after I made a copy to my own google drive. This is a game changer. Thank you!
EDIT: I'm going to save 8+ hours on my current animation in render time.
I am getting same error. Can u plz explain what u did.
@@vaibhavkanade1798 change "OPTIX" to "CUDA"
it helps and same-ish render time
This was excellent. What if I wanted to render a video? Where would I find the correct command line arguments to render say, 1-500 frames in mp4 format? Any help would be great thanks.

Hi all!!!!. Good walkthrough. The first time it worked perfectly for me with a project that I did as a test. The second time I tried another project, I changed all the parameters and I did the rendering of the first project. I disconnected, I reconnected and the same thing happens, what could it be??? Thanks a lot. Greetings from Argentina and sorry that this text is translated by google. Greetings!
No quiero sonar grosero pero me ponés en castellano qué quiciste decir? Así se lo traduzco y te puedan dar una mano!
@@ignaciomatiasmunoz9124jajajajja....bueno gracias de antemano. La verdad eso que intente explicar era que me hacia un render del primer proyecto test y yo tenia en el codigo un segundo Blender en los parámetros. Bueno eso solo me pasó el primer dia. Hoy como segundo dia agarro denuevo y ya me tiro otro error diferente, directamente desde el codigo. Lo copio todo y lo muestro
the github file shows the wrong blender version
Sorry. I’ve recently updated it to the current release of blender 3.0. On GitHub, you can look at the history of changes I have made to the code if you want to go back to a previous version. Otherwise, you can replace the line of code with the version of blender that you like. Some of my other google colab tutorials explain how to do this.
@@MicroSingularity sorry, I meant that some of the cells show the old version instead of the entirety being blender 3.0. I had replace them myself. I'm using blender 3.0
I came across another issue. The renders aren't being saved in the specified output directory. Instead they're being saved in the My Drive. I can't quite put it if I missed something. Any ideas?
hey man, I got a problem with rendering, so I used the file output to render multilayer EXR file but colab is not rendering that but instead just render a single picture without any denosing or anything, any workaround for that error?
Can you tell me how to render full animation with this method. Actually I am getting error on that
Hi! I have a question.
There is a way to change the type of denoiser? I use the Optix one, and its to noisy.
Can i change optix to Open Image Denoiser?
Isn't there a way to automate this process so that one has to simply call a python function to do all these step by step?
It would be awesome if someone writes a function that hides the complexity from the user so the user only has to enter things like start frame, end frame, destination etc.
Sure. I guess I could create a new Jupyter notebook with all the detail hidden.
I just made something like that:

@@anuragdutta221 can you update the code to make it work with Blender 3.0? Not alpha but the official release? And just that? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! :-) A question: how could one add "Blender add-ons" in Google Colab?
Hi, how would you include purchased Blender add-ons in Google Colab?
You can download blender on a linux machine, include the addons and then upload blender to your gdrive. Then, go on like described in the video.
@@aendnouseforalastname8318 Does it have to be linux? I am running on a win10 OS and all my programs and software is on it as well.
@@HeLIEl Yes, because Colab runs on Linux machines, so your windows version wont run. You can try installing a Linux version on Colab and then upload your addons into the correct folders in Colab - not sure if it will work though

sir i tried rendering for hair particle system but it didn't showed up in the render can you help me?
You are a saint
😀
is it compatible with all versions of blender?
Yeah. All recent ones at least
@@MicroSingularity did you notice a size limit in the scene, I have a rather big scene and impossible to render it, the process stops when loading all the meshes
anim file doesn't exist, shows up on screen
what to do now?
Not sure what that means sorry. Can you be more specific?
I always knew that the optimal tile size in pixels is approximately your rendering device's length in centimetres :P CPUs like small tiles. GPUs like big ones. It's logical, because they're much bigger than CPUs :P
😄
@@MicroSingularity I'm glad someone eventually laughed at this joke. Cuz I think some people took it seriously, opened their PC cases, grabbed their rulers and tried to stick them inside.

why is my volumetric black
do colab suppor volumetric or not?
