OTOY Forums

Working with a gtx780 and 32gbs of ram but this is the error I get once I attempt to clone the object (which renders fine without the cloner) The problem seems to be allocating memory but I'm new at this and haven't a clue where and how to do that. Any guidance is appreciated, as I really enjoy the results i get out of octane, and i'm looking to purchase it, if I can get it to work.

AS i can read from log output, mesh creation time is 9sec and update time much longer. This points that you send much polygons to render engine. V2 has 19 millions triangle limit. You should use render instances to avoid many clones of same mesh as much as possible.
