Octane has a long instances load time once the instances go over 2-3 million.
By load time I mean, it takes almost a minute to load 10mil instances of a cube in the IPR. I tried using the string instance attribute as well as packing copy to points, same results.
This doesn't happen in 3Delight, a CPU render engine or from what my friend told me, in redshift.
Is this an octane limitation?
or is this because I am using an old version of octane (Octane 2021.1.1.1 - January 2022 build) and some recent instance changed were implemented that I am missing?
The file crashes as well after refreshing the IPR.
I am using Octane 2021.1.1.1
