try that compatibility mode check in windows I suggested,   it has made iclone much more stable for me.

"To define Tao is to defile it" - Lao Tzu

It's not polygon count I am sure of that in iC5.5 I pushed it to the limit on a job using computer with half the specs I am on now it was a Australian road train scene the truck itself was 950'000 poly count and I built the scene around that cut a render and it lives on to this very day. I can load a project and get right up in poly count in iC6 and do the task. I can start a new project and get to less than 100'000 and it dies so it's just unpredictable. You are right it is a beautiful program and that is why I'm sticking with it. I guess I   just wait it out until fixed perhaps revert back to iC5 for a while because I ain't starting the second clip in it that's for sure ...... Life's too short

Things are not very different ftom my early evaluation. I sincerely hope iclone 6.5's star feature is STABILITY.
Yes, I was hoping icone6 to be stable as it was supposed to be reprogrammed from the scratch. But it did not happen. It inherited many of the old issues of iclone5.
Let me admit. I actually waited for iclone to stabilise. I invested the time in writing stories, doing characters while hoping the next version of iclone to be stable.
One can work with less features. But it becomes difficult if the product is unstable.

Recently I had to change my execution plan.

It'S not that I have lost interest in Iclone. I will be watching the development carefully. And periodic feedback from the users likd this is quite helpful.

you've been here a wee bit longer than a few hours.  eventually you will have to accept that iclone is not stopping you from making movies.

"To define Tao is to defile it" - Lao Tzu

I evaluated most of the game engines with support for dx11 and physix. None of them demand as much resource as iclone. So I always wondered.

May be you should check your computer specs with our friends here.

One  thing I have noticed over the years. Things always go wrong whenever you want them to be right- perhaps Indian superstition!

i ran iclone 6 through compatibility mode,  I think it turned my aero effects off and possibly other changes ....it does seem to help.  i do remember having more issues before i did that.

Your right it's not a blockbuster movie its a music video as part of a prize given away in a competition held by a legendary UK Producer and the track is mixed by him, so it is in my best interest to get the job done like in the next few days since I have lost so much time already. When it does work I am actually happy enough with result but this is like climbing Mt Everest in a wheelchair

My tools are fine my issue is currently the behaviour of iC6. I started at 7 am and I am still battling its 3 pm. If I thought it was my computer then it would be solved. I just opened as a test Black Magic, Fusion, Foundry Nuke, Carrara 8.5, Daz Sony Vegas  and Resolve all at once  and can utilise each one of them ...... Can even fire up iC5 and load a project. this is not common practice and usually I only have iClone open perhaps if editing a diffuse I might have Photoshop open I like using iClone it is my preferred software I occasionally get the driver error in iC6 but majority of the time it is a windows close. If I open the task manager iC6 unless I load it to the hilt the card or memory/card is virtually on idle. There also appears to be no real reason you can load a reasonably heavy project work for an hour or two render it, very nice  then start a project it can crash before you even set you set size. I had a render fail last night 0.00 sec come out at 359 mb should have been 40 -80 mb it looped a segment over and over till it crashed I'm not having any issues with any of the other programs on this computer. Thank god for restore that's all I can say

One person takes few hours/weeks to evaluate, another takes few months / years to realize.
Let's not go there.

I guess it's just me or I'm just lucky, but my workflow in iClone 6 is not that different from what I did in iClone 5 or earlier. Meaning that my segments are definitely longer that a few seconds. The one thing that doesn't work for me is Indigo, unfortunately, but that's OK.
