another memory leak with 1.3.4

Post by morbidangel »

Hello,
I have been trying to track down a major memory leak using vray scatter. Its hard to see it, we have machines with 24 gb of ram and its not obvious at first. After each render maya takes more and more ram, but a little bit, maybe 100-200 mb more. After 20 or so renders ram goes from 2 gb to 4, a few renders more and its 4.5 etc. I have a scene where there is 15 vray scatters with many other proxy geometry in the scene. After working it in for maybe 3-5 hours in one maya session my ram is about 18 gb while I start from 12 gb.
It is possible to reproduce, if you create a scene with several poly planes and vray scatters and place vray proxies on them, do test renders and watch your ram climb.
Thanks.
