Hi

I tried to export orbx file from houdini and render that file in octane standalone.
Situation is little better it user 22 gb , compared to houdini 24.5 gb.So we can probably concluded that overhead is because houdini hython , etc.
And correct me if i'm wrong but orbx exports alembic files for ...

If i export to orbx files , can that handle problem of system memory?

Thanks Juanjo ,

But when i submit render on deadline it reports , 24 GB peak.
Is this because houdini also needs to keep copy of geometry in memory.

Because i have 2 gpu in machine , i want one gpu to do rendering in background , and to use other gpu that is display gpu ...

One question about ipr.
Does is have some hotkeys related to it , like hotkey for reload , alpha , etc...

Thanks Juanjo ,

I would like to get answer for this one from core devs, because if this is like some kind of limitation , for me is "game breaking" because i can't render and composite volumes correctly.
