God I love canvases, a lot of work but it really does pay off though I get the feeling there's power here I'm just not able to take proper advantage of yet.

I think I'll try something new and unusual in my next render, something off the wall and out there, perhaps a couple in a loving relationship having vanilla sex?

Maybe that's going too far...

This was a colossal headache. 6 characters and I had all sorts of loading issues, memory fail issues, crashes, etc. I can definitely understand why people keep scenes simple for the most part. Ended up having to render in parts and combine in Photoshop. Just wanted to have an image of all the ladies together.

Anyone have any tricks they've run into when rendering with multiple characters on screen at once? I have a 1080 and a 1070, and I know they don't pool vram so I have the 8gigs, but man, feels like after 2-3 characters and you're out of memory and have crashes, slowdowns, etc.

Anyhoo, so which is the lady of your dreams?

Lower Spatial resolution
Reduce subdivision
Lower Hair complexity
Decimate entire model into triangle

chose a option or all of them

optimized you can do much more then 3 models with your specs you are way above mine, even i-ray can do it semi efficient but it can ;)

and don't fall for SUBD 4 it is bogus, especially if your models never gonna walk in the future but stay their life as still and sooner then later get away from I-crap and start early with a better renderer.

Also try writing to file instead of a new window, I find you get the same memory usage but it doesn't seem to run the same risk of crashing.

I tried doing a 4 character lineup with a car and the Red Light District environment PC stalled out

I-ray is uma compatible which means it can go to the main memory for scene related complexity which means as Nvidias CUDA Driver Memory management is going over the Pagefile when necessary that you can utilize the Pagefile as especially Geometry Memory for overall to complex scene setups.

Though this is going to be slow depending on your Pagefile location, so as soon as VRAM runs out for Geometry operation and main memory as well it will go to the Windows Pagefile .

This is a very cheap possibility to simulate AMD Radeon Pro SSG far away from that transfer Performance but doable so you can waste the time on SUBD4 or a arbitrarily amount of complex characters on screen at once.

Scene preparation will just take hell long the more complex you go transfer speed on a normal HD is going to kill you so use a SSD, though you can't decide anything in terms of the memory management side itself no options there like in Octane for example the whole management is done by Nvidias Pre Defined memory management not all i-ray operations though are out of core the Denoiser isn't it is solely dependent on the VRAM if you consume it the Denoiser will be disabled.

Denoiser VRAM usage is dependent on scene complexity and Spatial resolution for 4K (UHD) it is around 500 mb once per frame.

Merry Christmas
