Ocean Render at 5k Not Rendering Properly - V-Ray GPU

Hi, When rendering a scene with an ocean, it renders fine at 2k but when I render at 5k it doesn’t render correctly - see attached.

I’m using V-Ray GPU and although it’s within the VRam limit, the render is not correct.

Is there a way to limit the vram when rendering at larger sizes?

It’s for a still render and not animation.

Thanks,

Yes, most likely you are running out of memory. You can confirm this by checking the Phoenix log from the Phoenix FD menu → Preferences.

If this is the problem, then you need to reduce your Ocean Subdivs options, or find a machine with more RAM to render the ocean out in the high resolution.

Cheers!

I lowered the Ocean Subdivisions from 2 to 1 and it works! Thanks man!

Woooohoo! It would take away some detail, so if you can find the highest possible value that does fit in RAM, it would be the best scenario.
