Hi all,

I'm using instanced hair to populate a tree with leaves, but when I render
the scene seems to leak ram. It starts out needing 700 megs or there abouts
and fifty frames in it's on about 1,7 gig of ram. Has anyone else seen this
issue before?

I have certainly had a lot of render instability (able to render only 1-5 frames without crashing) when using instanced hair for tree leaves. Not sure if it was a memory leak or fragmentation. Either way, crash = bug in my book.
