High Memory Use in TangoAlpha Iray products * SOLVED *

Good day everyone, when I use TengoAlpha products - like the Tangy Apple Orchard and the End of the Tracks - it loads the scene just fine and only takes a few gigabytes of memory. When I switch to Iray preview or try to render, the memory usage shoots up dramatically up to about 40 Gb for the Tracks and over the 64 Gb limit of my memory for the Orchard which causes my system to crash. I am not having this difficulty with other products. Am I missing something? Are these just really large sets with all of the vegetation? Thanks in advance.

    Have you checked your instance management, as mentioned in the descriptions?

    These scenes use a lot of instances, in the Iray render settings make sure the Instancing Optimization is set to "Memory", not "Speed"

    I will go back and check my settings ... thank you both.

    Thank you both again ... that fixed the problem. With 64 Gb of Ram and 24 Gb of Vram I seldom have to worry about memory - everything is optimized for speed.

    24GB Vram? You are blessed with a TITAN!

    Technically it is a Quadro M6000. It is an older model, but I bought it like new and it is doing well.
