Btw does octane have an issue with instance objects in "multi instance" mode? (Same question for the cloner object)

And ...

When sending to LV it renders fine under a mnuite,

Scene load on VRAM is under 11 gb

* I get VRAM men

I need to have few grids (each with different random objects in them)
and then i need to scatter those few grids in another grid.

that (please see image commented: Cloner Octane Scatter) is not yielding desirable results.

and when i use closer (with multi instancing) the render doesn't match the ...
