Hello, I have a big problem to render my scene in a picture viewer, its an exterior scene and I thing that is polygon heavy, because of all the trees(greenworks), So in res. 960x540 is verything fine, but when I set 1920x1080 octane stops in 50sec and nothing will happen, everything is just black(in pictureviewer), also if I add even more trees to the scene, live viewer also show only black screen. So far it seems to me like, there is some kind of memory limitation I need to adjust or something..I'm just guessing..if you got any advice, please let me know.

Thank you


my specs :

i7 3370, 3.4Ghz
16GB RAM
GeForce GTX 560Ti 2GB
1TB HDD

Propably you was near to out memory for VRAM in LV rendering. gtx 560 with 2gb is low, especially if you have just one card. Because some vram will spend by C4D and windows.

Hi guys,

I just wanna let you know, the problem was solved right after I switch GPU with more memory...so right now I'm using GTX 960 4GB and everything works.

Of course. Thanks for info. People first should check their scenes for triangle counts and free vram before posting. Also should try different scenes to see where is the issues...
