Texture Paint Mask node issue April 13, 2026, 8:02 p.m.
When I add a Texture Mask Paint node to my network and enable it, it's crashing my computer. I tried switching OpenCL devices between CPU and GPU, and tried both 21.0.671 and 21.0.631, same result. I checked for driver updates to make sure I'm current, but I'm still getting crashes when using the Texture Mask Paint node.
Diagnostics attached.
Thanks!

Bake Geometry Textures bug? Nov. 6, 2025, 1:37 p.m.
I haven't yet updated to .13, but I did discover that after setting the cage setting to use the input bounding box, the Optix error (eventually) disappeared. I guess it wasn't immediate because some other node was cooking.
Bake Geometry Textures bug? Nov. 4, 2025, 8:03 p.m.
While working on some texturing, I decided to give the baking setup a try, and ran into an unexpected error: the baker is trying to allocate Optix to run its tracer. This is failing because I don't have an nVidia GPU, but the tracer configured in the Bake Geometry Textures node is Embree, which even though it probably doesn't support my AMD GPU, does support my AMD CPU.
Either way though the baker shouldn't be trying to use the Optix tracer when I've selected the Embree tracer, and the Baker doesn't even have Optix listed as an option, which is appropriate in this case.
Thanks!
