Hey I have material issue like I'm using traffic addon for car assets other assets like road h& hdri is work perfect but the cars is black what should I do?
Remove spaces from folder and also from file name For Example: '/content/drive/MyDrive/Ocean7.blend' '/content/drive/MyDrive/Ocean Test 7.blend' ( Is wrong )
When i start the render it stops half way and block my account from being able to use google colab, because of suspected abuse… how can i fix this? I’ve followed your every steps
I'm the same, I think it's no longer useful, trying with other accounts doesn't work either, unless colab has noticed this. Even if you pay for the PRO version it shouldn't bother them because that's what you are paying for, but no.... Colab for blender is not working anymore

Bro, you saved my life. There are other guides for this too, but none is as up-to-date and easy to follow as yours. My Radeon RX570 (8gb) is powerful considering the age and the price I got it for, but it's not supported by Cycles and the Radeon render engine is not working for me. So I would have needed to render with my Ryzen 7 5800X, but since my scene is heavy, I would have had to only use 5 out of 16 threads to keep it under 80 degrees Celsius. So instead of taking 5 minutes per frame, it now only takes 1 - 2 minutes per frame, but I can continue animating while it renders in the background without effecting the hardware of my PC. I hope your channel grows a lot, and you keep up such amazing videos. Thanks
Hello! My scene has a group of people, and their clothes have fabric simulation. These clothes and their animation were created in Marvelous Designer, which generates an Alembic file. This file is imported into Blender, and the mesh has a Mesh Sequence Cache modifier. When rendering the animation, the characters are rendered normally, but the clothes do not have the animation loaded and remain static and completely out of place. Is it possible to render with these clothes???

I followed the tutorial step for step but when I go to render it comes out as the default starting cube. I have made the donut animation from the blender guru tutorial. Can someone help me?
his video is to fast maybe you've miss some parts. Did you run all the last 3 cells. You should render part of the animation first for testing. I rendered only 5 frames. I saw default cube png too but I wait until the process ended and there were a mp4 file. Hope this help
For some reason it's not packing my HDRI but packing other files, everything is packed correctly in the texture folder but the hdri keeps showing as pink while other textures are showing correctly
Hi, brother from another mother, check if the texture folder you uploaded to your google drive has the hdri or now (most likely not), give it a check and make sure every single of your texture files are named properly, uniquely and then again pack everything, and then again unpack everything. Again, when you unpack the blend file, all of the textures MUST be in that new textures folder, if now, you're missing something. Double check the file directories and place them where the blend file can access it naturally. I literally had the same exact issue just now. Unfortunately colab most likely is placing restrictions now on GPU usage, so I don't know if this colab render thing is useful anymore
Thanks for the VId! Will try ASAP. Question, what if I have nultiple particle systems? Do I need to export multiple bakes, and if so how do I set those folders up?
When you enable disk cache before baking blender will creates the cache files next to the .blend file. Same goes to simulation nodes bakes as well with default settings. Multiple bakes will be on that bake data folder. Then upload them to gdrive and Continue the process with Colab.
It keeps rendering the same image. I move camera, change rendering options, but its always the first image it rendered. Can it be, that it cached somewhere? Tried restarting blender, colab, in "output setting' the 'cahce result' box is unchecked? Any ideas? Thanks
@@mdreamslk Thankyou so much for the reply, you are correct, I think the problem is the missing "/content/drive" Much appreciated and thankyou for doing the tutorial.
@@mdreamslk Just an update. I added the missing "/content/drive" and it created the render files perfectly, I am so happy, thanks again 🙏 (silly careless error by me)

Make sure you are entering the link of the setup. It feels like you are copying the site link and pasting it in the cell, hence colab downloading the web page. Make sure you copying the link of the setup. If you are using the same version like me then use the link I use in the video.

Bro but i need to rende Fire.So how i deal with the baked caches in this case?
: Cannot read file "/content/drive/MyDrive/COLLABA/FILENAME": No such file or directory doesn't work did same way as u on the video!
Is this from the filename cell? If so, you need to add .blend at the end of the blend file name. Also try one comma ( ' ' ) instead of ( " " ).
Just make sure the blend file is in the my drive file direct. Don't put it in too many folders
Yeah same 😢😢😢issue I encountered
Remove spaces from folder and also from file name
For Example: '/content/drive/MyDrive/Ocean7.blend'
'/content/drive/MyDrive/Ocean Test 7.blend' ( Is wrong )
This was fantastic and informative. Thank you!

Not sure, If k-cycles has a linux version try uploading it to gdrive and bring that to colab and continue the process. Might work.
