Ways of reducing memory usage??
Posted: Tue Sep 24, 2013 5:07 pm
Hello all,
I am trying to render a very complex scene with a lot of quite complex meshes (around 350) from Rhino. Every time I try to crank up the render it just crashes/ freezes. or comes up with an error message about not enough memory (my machine is not a particularly slow one and never usually struggles with renders)
Admittedly I am running an old version of Maxwell (v1.8 - I know) but is there any way of reducing the amount of memory used- or are there particular settings I can try to turn on/off that may speed things up? (there are on 3 materials applied- a gold material, glossy white plastic and diamond)
Or should I just buy the latest version and stop being a tight arse?- would the new version cope better?
Cheers
Ed
