Hi all

i have little problem
i made scene with 3,500.000 triangles

and render screen is black,or octane shut downs
but if i made same scene with less poligons octane works fine
i thing that is problem with low memory on graphic card
or maybe something else???

btw graphic card is gtx460 1gb

Yes, probably it's because of VRAM limits.

Hi,

Are you running a 32bit or 64bit OS, and which one ?
Normally you would get a memory error if you try to load too much triangles into a 32bit version, but not a black screen.

Are you sure the camera is'nt lodged somewhere in an enclosed area ?

As said, i think you're running out of memory, sometimes you're OS uses additional VRAM and as a result there's not enough for octane.
maybe try first with loading no textures, then keep adding them until the viewport turns black, and optimizing them a bit (rescale your textures)
