Hi all,
I've got a sphere set at 5cm and with 8 subdivs (using display smoothness) - in maya 2014 on the mac.
When I add a maxwell shader with displacement (a rock normal map from the Maxwell folder), the RAM usage starts to head upward and max out the physical RAM at 13GB (there's 16GB installed) and the virtual memory at 33GB. Maya then freezes/starts with the spinny wheel.
Are there tips for working with displacements, where I can reduce the RAM usage?
cheers,
Steve
