As I don't use fumee fx, I'm stuck with 4.30.... most stable and speed. Hope there will be soon a great release.

does not work correctly in free camera
you say that this render is made of cinema -- why doesn't the tracking camera - if I'm wrong show me how to do tracking with octane render

obviously none of 3dmax did not tracking camera in video production .... a year ago I raised this topic - nothing has changed or, again, a mistake that was a year ago .... Don'T TELL ME to use the Octane render camera - I'm still not going and not going to use your camera

seems like bug is connected with amount of mesh in the scene and time it takes to evaluate. We deleted all objects in the scene except car wheels (instanced wheels total 15 mil polys) it takes 4.38 - 5 seconds to evaluate, it takes 4.39 version 2 min 40 seconds Times go down when more mesh/items is deleted. Looks like textures do not affect it.
Also for ver 4.39 isolating object does nothing. having one objects in viewport or the whole scene takes the same amount to open
hopefully it helps.
The issue comes from the new PFlow instance support
>> Please select
'Disable PFlow mesh Instances' in the Trouble shooting tab of Global Preferences <<
That should bring back the evaluation time to normal !
We currently need to parse the scene a first time (which is slow when you have many meshes..) for this PFlow instance system..
If you don't use PFlow, you should definitely disable this ..
If you use PFlow, it should still be highly beneficial to enable it, but might depend on number of particles vs non-pflow meshe count ..
Thanks

Thank you
I also send Paride a scene that crashes slaves and masters with cuda errors using pathracing and diffuse. AO works fine We also had large scenes before and never had any cuda issues. Happens a lot during camera fly through and itoo forest generating grass thanks.

Welcome to the club Goldisart. There are some semi bad or good solutions here. I had to get over this never solved bug many times and lost time with the work required camera matching. Officially it can't be fixed as I understood.
Here is a link with further links in the thread:
