I don't believe that for a second.
It works with the Arnold plugin. Why not with Octane?

Anyone?

I this a problem with Cinema 4D or Octane?

To my mind, this is unacceptable. We are wasting time trying to figure out how much is too much to export.

I have already converted everything I can to polygons, but I still have some parts that contain Cloners with animation on them.

So what should I do about cloners within cloners?

Ah, I see.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of updating, but I don't know for sure.

What about a different method for scattering, maybe in Standalone. Is there a way to generate a CSV file for scatter positioning from C4D?

Here is what I'm seeing in the Log:

I think you are right to some degree, but there is something else up.

If I reduce the frame range, I can get it to export. But why does it export fine without instances with a much larger file size?

I have a scene with many clones of a complex animated element that I need to export for use in Standalone.

If I have "Render Instances" turned on, or make the Cloner editable (creating instances set to "render instance"), the export will crash just after finishing all frames. I have pulled up the ...

Thanks, guys. This is exactly the sort of information I was looking for.

When running a batch render from multiple machines, "Skip already existing files" does not work as intended. It seems that because there is no file written until after the render finishes, they don't recognize that they shouldn't be rendering the same frame.

Is there a way to get around this, or ...
