HI
I have a constant problem with curves in rhino and Octane 4.04.I am aware that Octane is not able to render 2d geometry but sometimes it is really annoying when you are still in development of your model and while you try to make a test render Octane is crashing ( not enough memory as I understand ) and it is all cause scene contains too many visible curves that I forgot to hide. I do not know wheter is only my problem or is it quite frequent.

Does anyone have any tricks how to solve this ?

How much RAM do you have please?

Paul

Hi Paul

I have 16 gb ram, Intel I7 9700, 2x GTX1070 (different manufacturers unfortunately) Octane for Rhino 4.4.0.108 , Rhino 6sr31

Be aware that the denoiser when it kicks in uses up a lot of system memory as well!

You potentially have the Max Polygons in the plugin Settings window too high for the amount of RAM you have, and that is causing the crash. Ultimately, it might be a case were you need 32GB RAM to hold the geometry information of the curves.
