Octane failed rendering a big scene

[PaGz]

Hello

I am looking for solutions for my project.
Octane is failed rendering a scene with no textures but zillions of geometry. ( 10 buildings destroyed )

All my dynamic simulations are cached in a single one.

I have a RTX2080 TI with 11 gig memory.

The rendering is starting and take very long time to load the scene in gpu then Houdini crash after about 40 mins

I really don't know how i can optimize the scene more than what i did..

Does packing can help? or activating out of core (64 gig RAM on my system )

Thanks

Here is the visual..

Enabling the out-of-core feature is going to help for sure, but you should also be aware that there are limits about the amount of geometry that a single OBJ node can handle.

If you are working with OBJ nodes including several millions of polygons you should think about breaking it into several additional OBJ nodes, importing a set of data into each one. This has two advantages: avoid reaching the Octane limits in the number of data that a single OBJ node can handle, and improve the scene extraction time due to the multi-thread scene extraction feature, which can split the expansion of several OBJ nodes among all your CPU cores.

Hope it helps,

Thanks Juanjgon!

I will try that

Please tell me the limit per obj node?

I will give you feedback!

It is hard to say because it depends on the number of UV maps, user attributes, etc. but I'm sure that a single OBJ node with let's say 50 MPolygons could fail, and the scene extraction time can be very slow.

Thanks again Juanjo!

Now i can render with the IPR!

I will now try to render all the sequence.

Best!

[PaGz]

Yay!!!

Thanks you so much!

[juanjgon]

Great! I'm glad your scene can be rendered now.

Thanks,

I've been able to render all the frames last night
