Thanks Paul. I did get the error before seeing this message from you. I think I'm running out memory in my card...maybe. I have a 4 gb GTX 970 nvidia card. just in case I ever could afford octane :) more cuda cores than a bara can use.

Kudos to you for creating poserphysicsAND octane render. I want to touch your brain to see if it rubs off on me.

I tried it again, just now, with my groovy forest scene and it said there was an error, Click OK to reset card. I did, and there was my image rendering in the view port, seems fine. Different from Poser, but fine.

I looked at the log, nothing there. Weird.

I need to read the manual, check out the tweaks you mentioned.

Many thanks. Very amazing product. I'm tempted.
