OTOY Forums

Hi there!

I am quite new to octane but quite expirienced with vray and corona. Now I am trying out octane, didnt bought yet.
I just tried to render a scene from C4D/Vray with the octane c4dplugin. I simply converted the materials to octane materials and tried to render with the default settings. But I got this error log:

thanks for help!

i can see a memory error as you see. Also about 64 sec. for export time. This means that your scene has high poly counts. Probaply it exceeds your gpu's vram. You can try to decrease polygons of scene. Max. polygon count is about 20Million.
