Render Crash (3)

[etulchin]

When I render a LARGE file, (8000 x 6000) of a simple poly the render crashes. ver 2.02
My machine has dual 933p, 1 gig of ram and lots of swap space. The same simple file when run on v2.01 runs well!

I tried this on other persons machines (v2.02) and thires crashed as well. Any ideas ?

First, convert the texture files to .map files. Open a XSI command prompt, browse to the folder where the textures are, and execute:
imf_copy filename.extension filename.map

Do that for each texture.

If you have a Batch Univeral license, you can render it with the ray3.exe (mental ray standalone). Export the scene to a .mi2 file and render this file.

If you render through the GUI, check Enable Subregions and define regions size. The render will occur in separate parts.

Also try increasing the Job Memory Limit (Render Options > Optimization).

Hope this helps
