Try disabling the LAMH Plugin before you load the scene.
Fishtales you are a genius that worked perfectly
Thank you so much.
Kicking myself for not thinking of something so simple.
@Joepingleton You are welcome. I am glad it worked.
@Alessandro_AM I don't know if this has been flagged up before. I have had three Catalyzer animals in a scene and it rendered without any crashes, even before 1.3. I did a scene with two Catalyzer Squirrels and it crashed Studio when I tried to render them. There was nothing else in the scene. This morning I reloaded the scene, added an HDRI and started the render. Right away it started to eat ram until there was none left, I have 16 GB, and then used the Swap File. It was fifteen minutes before the first write to the window and the computer was unresponsive. This only seems to be with the Squirrels so I am not sure if there is something different about them that could be causing it..
Hello, the squirrels are quite "expensive" in terms of memory, what happens if you try to reduce fur density and spline quality, or maybe using the 'safe mode' option in the Catalyzer pane?
@Alessandro_AM
It is rendering fine just now and the memory usage is now down to 10GB :) At least I can use the computer now.
The render finished. I noticed during the render that the memory dropped until near the end of the render it was down to 7GB.

When I was testing with a single squirrel, (several small renders without closing render windows,) and DS crashed, I had 64GB of system RAM. When you speak of "expensive" are you talking about the GPU/Video Ram?
('Cause that lively, gorgeous, pesky little squirrel has been a real pain in the neck! Even before Catalyzer.)
A test of version 1.3 catalyzer on my older, lower spec HP Pavilion, 12gb RAM and GTX 970 (4gb VRAM) It seemed like the viewport response was somewhat slower with the catalyzer plugin enabled than without it; But no crashes even though I loaded the moose after I loaded the scene. It utilized all the VRAM and took 2 hours to render
And a test on my newer machine with I7 processor, 32gb RAM, GTX 1080 ti (11 GB VRAM).No noticeable slowing of the viewport repsonse and no crashes. It took 30 minutes to render on this machine.
Catalyzer Porcupine and HDRI background.
So many great images from everyone, it's very inspiring to see what people are doing
Is there any fur for the default "Rodents by AM: PolyMorph"? It seems strange that there is no mouse/rat fur for this figure
The link for the 64 bit goes to your website? I'm not getting a zip file from the link.
Check out the initial post, we are at release 1.3.
Ursus Mastronadi Cuteous (common name, the Enchanted Forest Minature Bear) running amok in Sirenopolis. The background is Jack Tomalin's Balneae, with the walkway and trees kit bashed from some other sets.
Incidentally, I managed to do 12 renders yesterday, with version 1.3, without any problems.
Cheers,
Alex.
Lovely images Alex, great to know latest update is working well.
Has DAZ released the updates as yet? I'm not seeing it in my 'updates' in DIM.
Not yet, should probably happen around mid-week.
they're so fast ! LOL
Thanks, I'll keep an eye out - I don't normally use DIM so I don't open it all the time, was just curious.

I'm happy to say that I did manage to render a full scene with a white wolf and a female character, props etc. with no issues at all as long as I put the wolf in the scene first and posed him, then added everything else and the whole thing rendered very quickly and very well. Will post the finished version once I'm done with the post work.
I have purchased the LAMH2iray catalyzer, loaded as per instuctions, every time I tried to render wolf 2 Dazstudio 4.9 pro (latest update) kept closing down.
I have reloaded Catalyzer and now I get the Wolf with No Fur. although I'm loading Wolf 2 Catalyzer version.
I have a GeForce GTX1050Ti with 4GB ram plus 8GB of memory.
@Olderkat if you want you can contact me directly at [email protected] for direct support. Not sure if that may be the issue, but when you render, make sure to click the render button available in the Catalyzer pane.
Loving LAMH2iray catalyzer. Thanks again for a great product
Is there a way to scale the hair in LAMH2iray catalyzer? I tried this image and couldn't figure out a way to scale the lions mane.
Did this ever show up or are we still waiting. I haven't seen it in DIM yet.
Alessandro's Wolf mark two with Jack Tomalin's Iray version of Invetero as the backgroud and Predatron's Japanese Pine tree in some scenes.
Cheers,
Alex.
This is the pre postwork render, I wanted to show the wolf straight out of the box so to speak. The postworked version if anyone is interested is on my thread in the art studio.
Those turned out really nice! Could almost reach out and give their fur a scratch.
It's best to add the scene/environment you have set up to the catalyzer animal, isnt' it? Rather than the other way around? Even with the updates from here, when I tried to add the wolf to the scene I was working on, I got instant crash.
edit: oh whoops! never mind. I hadn't gotten the last update from here, 1.3 LOL. Doesn't crash now.
Anybody else had a problem after installing the 1.3 update? All of a sudden, the catalyzer is not working, and the figures are not showing up with the hair guides. Pop-up window says "There are no catalyzer compliant assets to render. Please use the standard DAZ Studio render button." I have all the appropriate catalyzer-complkiant figures, and everything was working fine until after I installed version 1.3, through the DIM. I've emailed Allesandro directly with log files, and am awating a reply, but Ii'm wondering if this has occured to others.
PS forgot to mention that I uninstalled the app through the DIM and reinstalled, and did the same with one test LAMH catalyzer-optized figure, but the problem persists.
