Clicking on Optimize Chaos Scatter Objects in vray and pausing rendering will cause crashes

I have recorded a demonstration video of the problem, and I would like to know what specific benefits the Optimize Chaos Scatter Objects feature can bring

Hey @123456_1 - this option was made to specifically target problems in Cinema 4D slowing down the per-frame export when vast amounts of high-poly objects are scattered. The optimization itself only disables the render option in the scatter object to force Cinema 4D to not generate the instances that would not be used (thus saving the time from the export time). In other words - it intends to optimize non-interactive rendering.

That being said - this tool is highly experimental and was not tested thoroughly. Unfortunately, as you found out - it does not work for interactive rendering and leads to a crash.
