Mandelbulber 1.17 - OpenCL

[lukesleftleg]

Hi Buddhi,

Rather than risk giving you a useless screenshot showing nothing of any use to you, I've saved the Process Monitor output as a CSV file, and sent it to you in an email. Please let me know if it hasn't arrived, and I'll see if there's another way to get it to you.

Also, I was thinking that as an owner of a machine with a nVidia card in it, I might be able to do some further testing for you.
Please let me know if I can help in any way with this.

Thanks Syntopia and lukesleftleg for this trial. It gives me a lot of information.

With the help of stuff posted on this thread, I got the OCL working on 1.17-2. My jaw dropped with the render times, fantastic work, Buddhi! <3

I have a certain euphoria building for when the openCL version works for me. The Menger sponge test render got me thinking.
Here is the error code I get:

If this is a horrendously n00bish post, please point me in the direction of the education I so sorely need
