Sorry to post here.

HAs anyone ever gotten stuck in a "particle overflow error" loop when trying to render with trapcode particlular in AE? Found nothing from trapcode that talks of this.

I have my c4d exported camera/aec file, rendered footage, and TC particular layer. The same file rendered just fine before. Even tried to recreate the particular settings from scratch.
At a point in the render it repeatedly gets stuck and I get this error message.

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Ok--figured out--

If anyone comes upon this issue--it has to do with the built in motion blur settings. The high particle count + high camera speed may have been too much for it to handle.

What insane settings are you using? ;O) Never had that problem, even with the max. 200000 parrticles. Or are you simply using linear motionblur (it stil lhas a bug though in 1.5 it got better)?

Probably "pretty" insane.
Im prerunning a few thousand particles.

I just had linear moblur turned on--I would repeatedly get the error a few frames into rendering. Turning off moblur did the trick. I may not have grabbed the newest update--that may have been the issue
