I have never been able to get Cycles to run on my machine. Win 7 x64 Quad Core with nVidia 540m video card.
I also have a 540m m for mobile, and just got it working, your laptop like mine, may have two graphics card, internal intel one and the nvidia one, you must got to the nvidia control panel and add blender to the apps list. Then check the use nvidia card button when blender is launched, then cycles should work using the GPU.
great!
Andrew Porter: that gpu has 96 cuda cores so same as my quadro 600, I couldn't get Cycles to work until I updated the Nvidia drivers to 2.80+ hope this helps.
I thought this was already posted on here a while ago. Anyways I love the finished result.
Yes, this was already posted on BlenderNation on October 24, 2011 by cekuhnen. But indeed, it's very interesting, because it's hot news nowadays. Cycles is "COMING SOON IN THIS THEATRE !" :-)
So nice, you have to post it twice!
Sorry for the double post!
Nope, good news must be posted in regular periods of time, even is old, tutorialis a perfect exemple !
