yep you just need to increase the dynamic memory. I go up to between 5000/7000 with an i7 with 12gb. though you can also render with irrad/bf. which will use a lot less ram that irrad/lc. when getting into big scenes it crashes a lot more with irrad/lc. so if you find that happening switch to irrad/...

I've been using vray scatter for a while. but I've found it dosen't cope that well with the scenes i deal with (being large scale arch viz work). though when it dose work on the odd smaller jobs i find it really useful and fast to get good results. Though on most of the things I work on I've found i...

I've managed to get the scene to render with everything on using an i7 950, with 12gb of ram, win7 x64.

though the scene dosen't use more than 5gb ram so not sure if its a ram issue.

no, though i'm probably using large maps to place the trees. I'll test it out when i get some spare time in a few days.

I've been able to render the scene in separate passes. it would just make life a lot easier if it would all work in one pass.

I won't be able to send the current scene I'm working on. but I'll try to put together a test scene that shows the problem. I just need to get a few deadlines out first. the scene that I'm having problems with isn't that much. between 30,000 - 70,000 tree's. I've done others with the same proxy obje...

I just tried it again with brute force/brute force. and it failed again. I can render it if its just the single xref with the vray scatter trees. so it would be possible to composite it but don't really want to have to do that. vray scatter has been a bit hit or miss on the last few jobs. it would j...

I just tried rendering with irrad/brute force.

It crashes right at the start of the irrad pass now.

I'll have a at qmc/brute force.

I'm currently using hdr's. though have been using the sun/sky system as well. I'm using a few q6600 with 8gb ram on xp64. I've done much bigger scenes with just vray proxies though take a lot longer to set them up. lc setting are low around 200, with low irradiance settings. i've been setting the de...

I've got a number of scenes that are crashing due to vray scatter. Its happening at the light cache phase. these are large scale scenes showing existing city with new area's. I'm using vray scatter for the background trees. I'd like the option to collapse the vray scatter object into the individual ...
