Hello everybody,

99% same file today from yesterday , I just added 2 detail attributes.

and when I open my file of the day I've got this message:

Could not create OpenCL device of type (HOUDINI_OCL_DEVICETYPE): GPU on platform vendor (HOUDINI_OCL_VENDOR): Intel(R) Corporation. Falling back to built-in CPU OpenCL driver.

When I open my file from yesterday, no message.

isn't it bizarre? I'm afraid to continue on my file of the day

Any ideas why is it happening?
How to fix it? and should I revert to a no-message backup?

Greetings,
Fred

it's an Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti, with 419.67 drivers.
it's a very common gpu..do you think it's not supported too?


I didn't look further and used a backup file without this warning.

my scene is a lot of muscles with fibers and others stuff generated, with 10-20 attributes for control the generation.
I don't know if it's a lot, I think no.

And it was happening with no reason.

Hi,
@Andr, this OpenCL message is because of Attribute Blur.

I don't see you card in this list
https://www.sidefx.com/Support/system-requirements/supported-graphics-cards/ [www.sidefx.com]

but you could ask the Support anyway to see if that's the problem (rmb to attach your system information file to the email: help -> about Houdini -> save file)

If you contact them, would you please report their response back here, I'd be curious to know as well what's going on,
cheers

Hello Andr,
Yes , it's not in the supported graphics card board.
I've asked about it and got a response :
this Open CL message is just coming because of an Attribute Blur node and is not dangerous (In my case).
I mean i didn't had any crashes or problems because of it.
Greetings,
Fred
