Thanks for the reply! I enjoy the plugin very much. It replaced my old workflow (export from Carrara, import into DS to fix Carrara smoothing issues, export, import into Octane) with neat in-scene rendering. I even decided it warranted uprading from Poser 7, and I still think it was worth every cent.

Yeah, I know I'm at the lower end hardware-wise, but it's a laptop and I can't change cards. I've looked into external graphic cards options, but it seems I need a card slot for it that I don't have, and there's currently no USB support for external graphic cards. Oh well. My next computer will certainly take graphic card performance into account, lol. In the meantime, I'll just reduce scene complexity and do closeups rather than scenic renders.

I'm currently at work, away from my Octane setup, but I'll see if I can send you the prop later today, when I'm home. But you're probably right about the vertices. I've done instancing resulting in many more vertices than I have in this scene, and it never was an issue.

I'll re-download the current plugin version first thing when I get home (I don't think I have the latest one) and see if that fixes it. Thanks again for your work and quick response to user issues. Mucho appreciated. :)
