Blender quits/crashes during Emission Bake for pore texture (Realistic Character Course)

[Aashish Patel]

Hey! I tried everything but nothing changed the problem is still the same.
I tried also with the 2k image resolution.(Texture)

I also have another question.

When I press the Bake button, my system memory goes to 100% while the GPU stays at 0% usage. I’m not sure why Blender isn’t using the GPU for baking.

I’ve already changed some settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel so Blender uses the GPU for rendering, but is there any way to make Blender use the GPU for the baking process as well?

Hi Aashish,

It is definitely something on your end, but I don’t know where the problem lies exactly (although it sounds like it might have to do with your System Memory). There is nothing wrong with how you set it up, because it Bakes fine for me (I didn’t change anything, just pressed Bake).

As far as I know, Blender only uses the CPU for Baking.

Have you found the Crash log (that Blender Manual page I linked to, tells you where it is/should be) yet?

You tried a different Blender version, but also try moving all your stuff to a new .blend file. That works for me like 90% of the time. Perhaps because whatever bug there is, it stays in the original .blend. Try it. 

One thing I do is, I take stuff to the new one by parts and try rendering. If it all goes well, then I copy paste other stuff and render or bake again. If it all goes well I do it again, until everything is in the new file or at some point it all crashes. The cool thing is, now I know which part might be the one causing issues.

Hey Omar you are right, I just tried your suggestion and it works for me! Thank you.
