Use the Polymesh duplicator plugin. That generates a new mesh and you can coose which what the points should be changed.
It´s auto refreshed, so you must run it only one time.

Yeah, I know polymesh duplicator. Also polymesh duplicator for point clouds. But last time I was using it, it was ...

Hi All

Here are few tendering tests. Beer Bottle lacks the small water drops on it's surface, but I had to delete it, cause my GTX 280 has got only 1Gb of memory, and the scene with drops will not fit this limit... Anyway, octane is pure awesomness. If you dev guys will do the following things, you ...

Hope you mean export from Softimage

Yes, when Softimage shut down, the memory should be cleaned while the obj-export runs in Softimage...

... sorry. I was reading too quickly.. Sure - 1st export = 1.29Gb page file. 10th export = 1.5Gb page file

Please test to export the obj with the Softimage obj-exporter. (file -> export -> obj file)
Only export, without load in Octane.
Do this 1, 3 or 6 times and check the Pagefile.

Testing done.. Nothing strange happened. I Imported it several times.. Started with clean scene at 831 Mb page ...

No, that´s right.
Octane load the old(original) mesh and change it with the new one. So Octane load it 2 times...
That´s while it gives to meshes. The original is created when the scene is created or you check the overwrite existing project.
The original has the name of you Project. The mesh for ...

Now I tested simple scene animation. No camera actions, only still scene view.

I created grid and sphere (quite dense - 300/300 subdivision). I rendered 9 frames while checking Page File growth.

- 1st frame - PF 1.5 Gb
- 3rd frame - PF 1.85 Gb
- 6th frame - PF 2.25 Gb
- 9th frame - PF 2.68 Gb

hm ...

Also one other thing.. Why is Octane importing mesh twice?

Maybe my workflow is bad:

- create XSi scene
- export to Octane
- tweak in octane
- save in octane
- Back to XSi, doing some changes in topology
- then I render it from XSi (in exporter i press button "Use existing project", and set path ...

I do not understand coding, but how it is possible to get 14 gigs page file after 50 frames?.... seems that memory leak or something like this is cycling and inreasing PF usage.

Hi All

This is first time I am posting here. I was messing with XSI exporter, and I found some strange behaviour. I was rendering animation in Octane. Exported OBJ file has 24 MB. After 50 frames of rendering, My system completely stopped working. Windows said, that it is because of page file size ...
