For an outdoor scene, where there is no interior or other heavy GI place visible, I would advise to use path tracing only. UHD Cache will need some time to be computed for each frame, and that may end up as quite a lot of time for all frames.

Pretty much this. The same holds true for certain (quite specific) indoor / studio renders as well. What I usually do is I create a bunch of renders that are limited by time, not passes or noise and they all have different settings. Then I visually compare the renders. By doing this I've actually cut down the overall render time on a few animations I've rendered locally.

There were even some scenes were I expected UHD to fare much better but it didn't because of the long pre-calc times. Vice versa also happened where I had studio shots that rendered faster with the UHD.

At 2nd or 10th or 15th frame... c4d quits, any idea to fix...?
Using path tracing and 6 pass only to check in low-res first.

Thanks.

I tried both UHD and Path tracing.... but quitting.

Any Idea...?

Thanks.

After full day spent... found the quit error.

Multi-pass. If its on, c4d quits after few frames.

I dont know Multi-pass should be on or off... not pro animator, any user can update on this...!!!

If it crashes, the dev team should look into it.
@Ben, can you help here?

Not a huge help as it's a Mac related but I can ask Nik to look it over.

Imran if you can upload the problematic scene file to our uploader, I can ask the guys to look it over. Thanks.

One question that comes to mind - does it always crash on the same frame but if you start from a different frame? (e.g. start on frame 0, it crashes on frame 4; start on frame 3, it crashes on frame 4) That is, is that frame a problem.

Or does it always crash after a certain number of frames, e.g. start on a different frame and it still crashes after 4 frames? (e.g. start on frame 0, it crashes at frame 4; start on frame 4, it crashes on frame 8) Which might suggest it's running out of memory or similar having done a number of successful renders.

As mentioned above... it was quitting at any frame 2 8 10 15, but not 15 frame crossed. but when Multi-pass disabled... all goes fine, even in 32GB iMac. I dont think it was ram issue.

@ Bean: Job is a little big, still in process, a formula track with full of details, banner, pols, lights, track... etc with lots of cloners and instances, I dont think I used any plugin. I will try to upload a video hope that's helpful.

Thanks for your response, its was a bit frustrating full day, scratching head, searching manual and google, that day I lost many hairs... already have few only... but at the end solved.

Are you using Dynamics in your scene?

[iacdxb]

no.... simple camera align to spline animation moves around the track....!
