3DS Max and Particle Flow Instancing doesn't seem to work

Hi,

I'm trying to use particle flow to instance a forest with lots of tree, rocks, grass, etc, but my memory usage goes thru the roof and than max 2020 crashes out. I try converting my mesh objects into Octane Proxy objects and while my memory does not spike anymore, I can't seem to get it to display in the Image viewer. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

Hello tcheng00,
try changing Pflow support type:
Render setup > support panel > PFlow

I'm in Render Setup, but I don't see a Support Panel. I only see.

Common | Kernel | Camera | Devices | Tools | Render Elements

Can you tell me specifically where to find it? Thanks.

I'm using the Demo 3DS Max Version, which should be Octane 2018. I'm on Max 2020.
