I use Arnold with it's standard shader. It takes about 1G at the beginning, and goes higher and higher until running out. My workstation has 48G Ram in total. It rendered the scene for the whole last night, this morning I saw it crash because of out of memory. I checked it later, cached my particles, use command line render script to render without XSI GUI, and it takes up more and more memory over frames. I'm not quite sure if this is caused by ICE instance, but scene without ICE instance works fine.

The workaround we found interesting was to write our own procedural shaders for Arnold. Arnold really kicks ass at render time memory allocation as well.

Everything works perfect until rendering. The XSI render process continuing takes up memory, each frame it takes more 10~20 MB, and finally my computer runs out of memory. To fix this I've to restart XSI to free the occupied memory. Is this a memory leak bug?
