Hi,
Wonder which are the differences of both settings.
Until now I only changed to Instanciate when in my scene I have Important number of poligons that belong to instancied copies of other objects, most times in my case, Geometry trees.
It made sense until today, have a scene, with some 500,000 poligons to which I start placing trees, for noe One single Tree Objects fo some 50,000 poligons, that I instanciate up to 25 times, that would add some 1,200,000 poligons to the scene, but instancied ones.
Ok, I check instanciate in System and render.... system hangs, MEmory usage Ramps up until 1,7 gigs when "Compiling Scene Geometry" .... Ouch!
Change Back to Replicate, and scene renders strait, only uses some 800 Mb of RAM... My problem is that I only started adding Foliage... Oh my...!
Only thing, scene has also a large surface with displacement Mod. for grass.... will check if that has anyhting to do (but I remember in the pas having both.... some hundreth of instanciate geometry and really big surface with displacement...
Any help much appreciated.
thanks
