Any idea why this might be crashing out when rendered Octane

Thanks

Peter

I checked it out and seems to work on my machine. Harley any RAM used so it's not that. Wish I could help.

Maybe hardly using any GPU RAM - But it completely flooded my system RAM & took my computer down.
I only have 16gb (it's fine for me in daily use) so maybe that's the difference. Before it froze, I saw system RAM hit around 29GB, it was using virtual memory at this point.
Just enabling 'render instance' on your cloner was enough to make it render happily for me.
I don't know if you are affected by the limitations of render instances but if not I strongly advise you to enable them.
I don't know what you have done to make this scene so memory intensive but it seriously needs optimising - this is using more memory than a landscape with thousands & thousands of trees !

Thanks Fellas
I'll try again

I am pointing to Octane render 2.03 as the exe... arre you guys using that one?

Are you using the old exporter script?

If you mean an outdated plugin... i.e one that is coded for 1.5 or older no.

The latest one... but it might be 2.02 ... I'll check in teh morn... would that do it?

Thanks

No, don't. It's probably not worth it. Was just curious if there is an issue in the exporter... I guess, what the other guys have said is probably your actual problem: Memory usage. Use render instances in our cloner, otherwise 2000 copies of your logo object which has 50000 polygons are created, resulting in >14,000,000 polygons.

Render Instances Did it

Thanks
