Daz crashing on Rendering, or Rendering a wall?

DefaultName

I've been working on an animation, and I wanted to render. All my other scenes render fine. But this animation won't. I've only selected to render a still frame, to check it for the time being.

With Optix off and CPU on, it renders nothing. That is, it "completes" a render of nothing.

With Optix off and CPU off, Daz crashes.

How do I fix this? =( thank you.

Can you render the scene from a different camera position? If you make a copy of the sceen and delete half the items will it render? if not will it render if you restore those and delete the other half? If you find a half that seems to cuase a crash, try deleting half of those items, check to see if it renders, if not try the other half. Keep that up until (hopefully) you identify the source of the problem.

My apologies. I did try these methods, and got so hung up on everything. I did follow the process of elimination that Daz recommends as well.

I didn't realize the terrain I loaded came with thousands of instances of grass and meadow props, like tens of thousands. I didn't see it at first under the clustered item. I feel so silly. But thank you. Removing all those but for a few basically fixed the issue.

In Render Settings check that Instance Optimisation is set to Memory
