VRay 3.5 beta - bizarre memory usage

[zeronove]

something strange is happening here

I've just installed max 2017 trial on my laptop to test the release before updating my workstation; after that I installed vray 3.50,01 with online license ...everything seems to work fine with default UI but as I switch to Max.Vray UI memory usage goes to the roof till 14 GB and more; this happens immediately with scene still empty...no render, no editing; just open max and wait

I've double checked with different preset from custom UI and default switcher

- design.viz and design.viz ART require more or less 700 MB
- max.vray requires more than 14 GB

Does it only happen with the MAX.vray preset?

Best regards,

I"ve not tried all presets but I would dare to say ...yes
After the finding I"ve switched back to design.viz ART preset, changed renderer to vray and it worked fine all day long with normal ram usage value.
I've tried the switch back and forth more times ...restart, reboot ...no luck

Ok, thanks for the pointer - will look into it.
