I = did run into some weirdness in element3d that this did fix. I haven=E2=80=99= t tested with any mettle products yet.

Adobe isn=E2=80=99t doing any = further work on the ray trace engine, putting their focus on the = cinema4d integration. Also, the new pascal architecture nvidia = introduced in the 10 series gpu is taking many developers a while to = adapt to.

 

Also, check for driver updates from nvidia often, = the current version is 388.31.

if you often enable ray = tracing for 3d instead of the cinema4d renderer, or use video = co-pilot=E2=80=99s excellent element3d, you might want to follow these = steps to enable support for the gtx 10xx series and nvidia=E2=80=99s = pascal architecture.
