After Effects error: Ray-trace 3D ( 5070 :: 0 )

[adam@blueapplestudio]

I am trying to create extruded vector shapes in AE CS6 and get the below error after clicking on the enable 3D toggle for the layer.

After Effects error: Ray-trace 3D: Out of paged mapped memory for ray tracer.

( 5070 :: 0 )

Any thoughts on how to solve this?

No problems using a gtx 470 for fast previews on windows 7, but of course does not support hardware-based raytracing...

On the mac side, there seems to be no software-only support at all if after effects doesn't like your graphics card.  This needs to be fixed...

i have the same problem in my two Macs.

In MBP 15.4 mid 2011 and ATI with 256 VRAM + iMac 2010 with ATI 512 MB  (8 GB RAM both machines - Lion OSX )

Hi Folks,

Chris from Adobe here.

@Adamdanielpalmer "On the mac side, there seems to be no software-only support at all if after effects doesn't like your graphics card.  This needs to be fixed..."

That's not an accurate statement. There are plenty of people (even on this thread) where After Effects detects the incompatible GPU and uses CPU correctly. But clearly it's not working correctly 100% of the time.

There is some common thing between all your machines that is causing this to fail. One of my engineers spent all day yesterday trying to reproduce this issue, but things were always going to CPU correctly.

So sorry, no resolution yet as to what is happening.

Just a wild guess in the dark, are the failing machines possibly upgraded in place from 10.6 -> 10.7?

My MBP (Which does work) is gaurenteed a fresh Lion install - Shipped with it.

I'm 95% sure my Mac Pro (Does not work) was a Lion only install using the method of extracting the .dmg image and transferring onto a DVD out of the App Store Package file.

[Adamdanielpalmer]

Please pardon my frustration...with a new OS about every year I can't imagine how difficult it is to keep software in sync with Apple.

Yes, We just upgraded from 10.6 to 10.7 a couple days ago...

Any other information I can provide?

[Adamdanielpalmer]

[john spirou]

Most of us  use Lion now (10.7) ... can you (adobe) try to reproduse the errors in a modern machine with Lion ?

[lehiboo69]

So that would come from mac OsX?

Should I format my Imac and make a fresh install ? Hoping it would work...coz it's a lot of time !!!

[lehiboo69]

My MBP and Imac had been updated from 10.6 to 10.7 and only my MBP works now...

[john spirou]

can you please tell me , what exactly MBP do you have (especially graphics card and memory of this card) ?

[nesha_le]

Same here, MBP is working fine, while iMac has the problem. I gave the specs of these machines above. Both has been updated from 10.6 to 10.7, so I don't think update process could be the source of our trouble. Adobe, any luck?

[john spirou]

very strange... you MBP is older than mine.

And they both have 256 VRAM ....

What is the problem then ?

Mac people,

NVIDIA posted a Quadro FX4800 driver update for 10.7.4: http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-270.00.00f06-driver.html. I seem to run into glitches like this if I do an OS update too quickly for NVIDIA.

Same issue here.

Getting an error on opening After Effects CS6.

After Effects error: Ray-traced 3D: Initial Shader compile failed ( 5070 :: 0 )

When it opens and I try to set the comp to raytrace mode it's not ecen an option, just classic 3D.

Specs copied from AE GPU info below, running on a Mac Pro (3,1) running Lion 10.7.4. This is supposed to be a support card I'e got, yet it doesn't work and it does work on my Macbook Pro, puzzling.

I've updated to the latest Nvidia and CUDA drivers since too and still no success

I'm having the same issue and I think I can help pinpoint what's wrong.

I'm running at 15" Macbook Pro with 8 GB of RAM and the 6750M Radeon ATI graphics card and 2.2 GHZ Intel i7 Processor.

I originally downloaded CS6 on Mac OS 10.6.X.   I then purchased Lion 10.7.4, which is what I'm now running.

I tested the ray-traced renderer before I upgraded and it worked fine. After the upgrade, I started getting this error.

That's my guess as to what's going wrong. Any fixes??

[Tavis_Dunn]

I'm thinking it's probably a 10.7.4 thing as well, i think that's what most of us with problems are using (though there seems to be a couple of windows users as well). Especially considering it just came out last week. Hopefully Adobe/Apple/Nvidia/Whoever can come up with a fix soon as the issue disables a pretty major feature of the upgrade....

At our office we have 2x 27" iMac 3.4GHz 16GB RAM with AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB running Mac OS X 10.7.4 and "extrude" isn't even an option when doing 3D. Seems like a hugh #fail. Please fix.

marcfolio,

Your issue seems very different from that of others on this thread, who are getting a specific error message. Please start a new thread with you issue. See this video for how extrusion works, to make sure that you are trying the right things:

To everyone on this thread who is reporting getting the (5070 :: 0) error:

It appears that this error message is occurring when the CPU-based ray-traced 3D renderer is being initialized. After Effects appears to not be correctly making the transition from attempting to use the GPU-accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer to using the CPU-based renderer. This initialization failure may depend on certain specific combinations of operating system, CPU, and GPU drivers.

If you're still getting this error, please respond to this message answering the following questions (even if you've given some or all of this information above):

- What operating system are you using?

- Did you upgrade your operating system from a previous version? If so, which one?

- What is the model of your CPU?

- What is the model of your GPU?

- What is the version number of your graphics driver? If you have an Nvidia card, what is the version of your CUDA driver?

Hi Todd, what do you mean by "if you're still getting this error"? I mean, error is present and it won't go away until you people get rid of it. Are we going to see some sort of solution anytime soon?

Some people only got the error once, and then it stopped.
