Flush Caches

Hi Recently bought an Arnold license for MAYA 2018 (MAC version) but having problems with watermark. I can't seem to get rid of the watermark when I render in batch. I tried all the suggestion I found on the net but no avail. Thanks in advance. Title: Solid Angle Cinema 4D To Arnold 3.0.2 for Cinema 4D R19-R21 Win/Mac.

Operator Graph

Opens the Operator Graph window.

Pre-Populate GPU Cache

This pre-populates the GPU program disk cache. Pre-population is optional, but once done, this allows subsequent GPU renders start faster. The cache is stored on disk, but if the NVIDIA driver is updated, or the GPU hardware configuration changed, the cache may be stale and need to be re-populated.

Note that pre-populating the cache may take 15 minutes or more to run.
