what was your highest polycount

[radiant]

Hello guys,

Pretty much what the title says.
Im currently doing some practise rendering with other peoples models.
And it is at a big 3.5 million polys
But I'm pretty sure that is the standered for most of you professionals lol

So state:

~Number of polys
~Vram usage it took
~how many time it took to load it in to octane because it kept on crashing
~How long it took to load into octane [without crashing]

Cheers,

Radiant

Scene A.
- 10,075,698 tris.
- 1915mb geometry only. max space Octane could use: 1928mb out of 2048.
- worked first time but I had been experimenting with mesh sizes before.
- not sure but it seemed like a few minutes. took quite a while to actually start rendering once loaded too. next time I will time it for you.

Scene B.
- exactly 10m tris.
- 1725mb geometry only. not sure why the difference from above. ran the res size up to use about 1920mb vram.
- as above.
- as above.

wow thats alot

anyone else have any stories to share

Around 5.3 Million triangles for some of my desert images with Elisabeth character, the Land Rover, The airplane and several detailed props, and 1300 MB of VRAM used on my GTX 480 - 1.5GB

Not many textures, but mostly highly detailed geometry.

Got my highest polycount in my scissors-monsters competition entry:

1860 MB VRAM used for a 5000x2500 pixel render.
4.4 Million triangles
4 mins 50 secs for importing/voxelization.... ugh... that´s massive!
No crashes with 2.43 ....but don´t ask me about the older 2.35, that was baaaad- especially in multi-GPU-mode.

It paid off

outstanding [your project] [for the speed] the most i have ever rendered was 3000x2000 or in those numbers
