Re: Poser dynamic hair in Octane for Poser

Hi, I've tried making a dynamic beard prop for Genesis and got both into the plugin okay. Looked beautiful, too. However, about eight minutes into the render, the Cuda device failed with multiple error messages that kept popping up, and I finally had to kill Poser via the task manager. (Win 7, 64 bit, Nvidia 540 M on a laptop with 12 Gig RAM.) It's a reproducible phenomenon.

Since this only happens with other renders if I'm close to the card memory limit, I suspect there's a memory issue there because of too many vertices. No idea why it takes so long to crap out. I'll experiment with reducing vertices per strand and/or number or strands.

tl;dr: In principle, it works. In practice, it's a memory hog. :)
