Hi Liam, My question is, if you have around 250MB per CSV, why is 40GB of CSV data loaded into Blender? What we usually do is load the data for one scene and render a picture at a time. In the end, we combine all pictures as frames into a movie using FFmpeg instead of trying to load all data at once.
