Hello everyone, thanks to your help, I've made my scene rendered extremely smoothly!
Arnold stand-in rocks! Again, Arnold stand-in rocks! It's so wonderful that I've to praise it twice! The .ass sequence definitely kick ass! The scene rendering didn't take more than 1G memory over the whole process, which used to start from 1G and rise higher and higher until running out of 48G before! And the scene loading process is way more faster! This makes me had a nice sleep last night :D Now I want to share a small tip about Arnold stand-in sequence, however you may already know that. Once I referenced the .ass file sequence on the stand-in property, it's using [frame] token to read the sequence, when the scene play out of the sequence range, I'd get an error. To make the stand-in playing cyclically, toggle Override Frame option, and set an expression on the Frame value, such as: fmod( Fc, 20 ) + 1 It makes the stand-in running cyclically from 1~20. Well, I know it's not magical at all, I just can not stop myself from sharing this : ) Anyway, thank you guys for helping me out, especially Ciaran Moloney.

Instance the stand-in on your ICE tree and scene memory should be negligible. On Thu, Dec 27, 2012 at 2:59 PM, Peter Agg <peter....@googlemail.com> wrote: I'd just double what Ciaran's saying. If every single instance has a completely different ShapeInstanceTime then that's effectively a different instance object for each particle, which will cause big memory issues. If clamping to whole frames is too much at least clamp it to a tenth or two instead.

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?
