Hi Guys ! i need some help, I got a scene with too many vertices, even octane v3 alhpa 3 doesn't handle it out.
Please let me know how can I optimize the scene? Does octane take the intances in modo as poligons? Or what should I do in modo to optimize the scene for octane.
Please help ! thanks a lot !

Hey Magierski,

It's a bit hard to tell exactly what you are working with in order to provide you with any sound advice.
Is there any way you can upload the scene or take a screen grab of your object/scene so we can better understand what it is you are wanting to optimise?

Cheers,

Here is my scene and setup - http://cl.ly/390F1p130V40
As you see I got 27 mln polys, but it will be more Let's say 40mln for the final shot.
Octane runs with 20mln, but when I set the 27mln it crashes.
I got octane 3 alpha 3 but is still shows me in preferences Octane ver2, is something wrong with my files? Or I didn't installed the v3 coreectly?
Anyways, I need to render a scene in octane using modo 901 and 40 mln poligons, IS THAT POSSIBLE SOMEHOW?
If not, please tell me how can I reduce poligons, some kind of instances? replicators?

THANKS A LOT, it is very important for me.

WM.

The latest TEST release of the plugin should handle 40 million polygons (assuming you have a big enough graphics card). How much VRAM do you have? How much normal RAM do you have?

Make sure you turn on Out Of Core Textures. And set System->Preferences->Rendering->Octane->Maximum Vertices to 50 million.

The graphic showing Octane 2 is a bug. Instead, the version number should show in the bottom of the Octane Setup window, or in the System->Kit Toggle Enable menu option.

You can reduce the number of scene polygons by using Modo Replicators or Instances (which will convert to Octane Scatter nodes).

Thanks Paul.
Really appriciate that you're answering for almost each problem on forum. That's important for us and you are very professional !

I got 4x8 GB ddr4 2133 MHz and 3x gtx970 4GB Asus GTX970 DC2 Strix 4GB but I am using only 2 for octane, 1 for a display.

You should have the hardware to handle 40 million poly then. Would it be possible to send me the 27 million polygon scene pls and I will take a closer look at the problem. paul at physicalc-software dot com.

I did a instances and optimize the scene little bit, now I have GL: 38 MLN and IT WORSK!
When I hide some of poligon instances modo is showing me less poligons in GL.
So now I have 38 mln with instances.

When I hit the wall I will send you the scene! Thanks Paul
