Hi Paul ,
Yeah I will upload you the scene file when I get home later. I'm using a MacBook Pro with 16gb ram and an egpu with a 980ti. So as regards ram and verts what do you suggest I set the max verts to in preferences.

16GB of RAM is not a lot - so I suspect 20 million Maximum Vertices would be as high as you could go. But you haven't indicated how much VRAM you have, so it's hard to make a recommendation.

Hi Paul,

Not had a chance to upload the scene file. Regards to vram, i had to google search to find how I find that on my mac.


So I looked in my system report and I have 3 video cards -

Intel HD and next to VRAM(Dynamic, Max) it says - 1536 mb
GT 650M it says - 512mb
980 Ti is says - 6143 mb

Is this the info you need?

980 Ti is says - 6143 mb

I'm not sure how much VRAM OSX takes, but say you have the full 6GB VRAM free, you could fit an absolute maximum of 26 million triangles in that space, but I would suggest dropping your Maximum Vertices to 20 million (rather than 26 million) since you don't have a lot of CPU RAM.

Cheers for that Paul Well its working anyway as I stated before but If I do run into any vert problems etc I will do what you suggested. Thanks again.

I am demoing Octane for Modo, have some questions, first does Octane support MODO proxies? How it deals with that workflow?

Hey Paul,

everytime i want to create an octane emitter from an arealight Modo crashes or an error occurs.
The log says:

Started logging on 18.05.17 14:53:19

OctaneRender 3.06 (3060005)

Tried to access null item
Tried to access attribute via invalid ID A_PIN_COUNT (113)

If there is no crash the octane emitter seems to work correctly

Greetings!

This occurs if you create the emitter whilst the viewport is closed. This problem is fixed in the next release.
