Yup its crashing at 3.8 Gig.

You must be using copies rather than instances. Have a look at the post by Rashad.

Here is a very quick example.

Pic 1:- Model loaded into Bryce, it is approx 210,000 polygons(quads), Bryce reports it as being over 420,000 (tris).
Memory used by Bryce= Approx 110 MB

Pic 2:- Same model, but has brought along 1000 of his (instance) friends
Memory used by Bryce= Approx 120 MB

LOL

Funny, but I did think about Daleks when making the instances.  I have never made a model of a Dalek, or I would of used it.

Ok this is weird but I can not see the images you guys have posted or my render?

What am I doing wrong?

I will try Instance some bots ( yea I must have copied them) and see what happens tonight.

Cheers

I do a lot of Bryce Art I am really considering going back to XP.

The tutorial Rashad prepared for the IL is really good. If you want to have it all together in a neat PDF, get it here: http://www.horo.ch/docs/guests/pdf/InstancingLab_Rashad.pdf

Rashad was kind enough to give me the permission to publish it in that form. Generally, there are other Bryce relevant documents on my site (see sig).

This site appears to have a lot of badly implemented javascript redirects that is causing issue.
You could block javascript which would then show the images, but that will kill other functions. Or, you would need to allow all javascripts / redirects that may be getting blocked.

If you are using Firefox, apparently if you use noscript then you need to make sure that Cloudflare is enabled, ie taken off the noscript list

It is actually a combination.
You can block all javascript for this site, and you will see all images posted, but the site also relies heavily on javascript for the buttons etc, so that will cause issue. If you allow javascript but block the redirects to “ajax.cloudflare”, that then stops the images being loaded, which, IMHO is a bug.

I must say I am quite irritated with all the redirect attempts from this site. Even when logging in / browsing my account, this site is constantly attempting to make my browser redirect/make connection to various external servers (cloudflare/cloudfront).

hmm I don’t get that, and I do logout and login a lot.

You will, but you probably do not know it because of your firewall rules, that will probably allow all outbound connections to remote port 443.
They are connections made it the background, you will not be physically redirected, as in being sent to another site, it is that your browser will connect to those 3rd party sites without your knowledge.

As a quick example.
I came to the forum, after seeing your post I went to top of forum to log in. On clicking log-in, my browser wanted to connect to daz(to log in) at 108.162.204.149.

Before I was sent and while attempting log in, My browser was being forced to attempt connections to:-
(because the first IP cannot be connected to, a different IP is then attempted, and so on)
