Just as an update:

Not sure if installing updated drivers and rebooting was the solution or not, but I also noticed that the tree that the scatter object was referencing was multiple meshes within a null, so I connected all + delete. This dropped the mesh count from 50k to around 20k. No rendering ...

Hmmm... okay.

The scene isn't super complex. There's road, guard rails, car, and ground terrain + trees in the Octane scatter.

I have a 980 + 980 ti so 4gb memory total. Memory usage is 1.054Gb/1.947Gb/4Gb, so even with the scatter object it's using not even half of the available memory. Tri: 0 ...

Sorry for the issue posts so close to each other (thanks aoktar fo resolving the first one).

I'm trying to render out a 175 frame sequence at work (left overnight to render). Around 20-25 frames into the render (from any point not just the beginning), Cinema 4D crashes.

The only thing I can think ...

Perfect, thanks!

Hey all,

I have a scene with a car The car is moving forward thanks to a parent null. I created a volume to create some fog for the headlights to shine through. Since my scene is huge, and volumes are a chore, I have it just large enough to achieve the effect I need.

I also placed the volume in ...

Hey Aoktar,

Yeah, I should have tried that before posting, but I figured out that that's the way to do it. Thanks!

Hey guys,

Can I render out a single pass as a sequence without having to render the "main" composite pass?

I want to render a wireframe pass, which completes in about 4 seconds, but the main pass still takes 40 seconds.

Anyway for it to just render the wireframe sequence?

Cheers

Hmm interesting. Maybe I accidentally ticked it off early on. I just remember having node issues and clicking that on solved most of them!

I used to have problems with the node editor crashing while connecting nodes, or especially when selecting a large number of nodes and then deleting them.

Checking on "Auto Load Materials" from the Node Editor "Edit" Menu solved about 99% of crashes I had with it.

Every once in a while I will ...
