PROBLEM WITH INSTANCES

[spigolo]

Im rendering a huge yacht with lot of Instances for the cuscions on the sofas..

strangerly some cuscions which are single clone instances works fine and so many other objects instanced, but i have
a series of lot of cuscions that are not rendered at all neither they are visible inthe IPR (in lw they work fine).
this series fo instances are clones of single instances of 3 kind of cuscions.
As the yacht is diveded deck by deck I wonder and every deck clones are instance of a cloned cuscion i wonder if the problem is there...

I upload a picture from IPR and one from Lw vpr wher eyou can see the cuscion instances on the sofas...

Another question: the yacht render quite fast despite it's 9millions of polygons and hundreds of object clone etc but as I have moving elements like the radar etc
do I need a full scene evaluation? in that case is a bit tedious as I loose all the speed of octane as reloading the scene take much longer than rendering it...

Can you please disable the "Instance LW clones" in the render target root node options panel? Anyway, I'm not sure about the behavior of instancing clones of the same object.

If you want to send me the scene, I could tets it here.

Thanks Juanjo I fixed it.
The original cuscions not visible in the instances were flagged in the scene editor as not renderable , in lw this doesn't make them not visible in the instances in octane they remain invisble.

Im happy surprised to see a 10 million of polygons lot of instances handled so well buy Octane on lw.

What about the animation? if I animate something i have o put a full scene reload option?

thanks

No...update scene is enough...

Yes, usually render in "Update Scene" mode is enough for this kind of scenes.
