Hello,

I need advise, I have standalone version but I do not use it often.
But plugin for 3ds max is very perspective for me.
(i7,6gb ram, GPU 560ti 1GB)

Im trying demo plugin for now.
Example: scene with 5 trees (3 500 000polys) ,diffuse material (octane),octane camera,octane daylight. When render began : 1. Processing Geometry spend 7 minutes then started Rendering but after few minutes I still had black in render window.
I tried it with easier scene : Only audi r8 (500 000 polys) and plane but it was same.
But when I tried more easy scene :
One tree(1000 000polys) processing time was under 1min. and render time (relative)fast

I read that 1-2GB card is enought strong for - 3-4 milions of poly, but not for me.
1GB GPU is not enought ? or what´s wrong, I need use some special technique ?

I´ve got job, I will make and render long animation of cars and I need short render time per frame that´s reason for Octane.
Thing about better pc (i7 3rd generation , 32GB Ram, gtx680 4GB maybe 2x)
If I buy gtx 680 4GB with 1536 CUDA cores How it will work for example with scene : 20-30gb of RAM
Will it work good if it?
How can I do this large scene with GPU ?
I was looking for solutions or informations but I still don´t know nothing important.

Pleas, help me! :roll:
With respect

So? it means that I need at least 13 gb Ram + stronger GPU ? or 13GB vRAm

13 GB RAM not video ram of course.

I have already tested octane plugin for 3ds max with different polycounts and textures.
My specs: i7 920 - 2,6GHZ. 12 GB RAM. GTX 580 1,6 GB.
For example without any texture in my scene, I can easily reach 7.500.000 polys to be rendered, even though the geometry update process reaches nerly 3 minutes. with heavy textures in my scene, octane eats all the video memory so I can reach max 2.200.000 polys. However octane is definiotely the best and quickest rendering engine

Upgrading from 8GB to 16GB RAM solved problem for me.

with my 32gb ECC DDR3 Ram and gtx680 i rendered 560 Millons of polygon. the whole file is 1.3 billion but half of it is hidden.
