Error creating bitmap

[jared_1978]

Hi

 

Please someone help.

 

I need to render at 3508 by 2480 for an A4 300 dpi print.

 

However when i go to render I get "Error creating Bitmap" and it won't render.

 

It renders when I reduce the resolution down to 3000 by 2121 (same aspect).

 

There is a lot of glass in the scene.

 

Is there just a limit on the res. that max can render out to or is there some simple setting that I am missing here.

 

I am using a 37 light rig set up to fake the skylight/global illumination to save time.

 

Please help

 

thanks

 

Jared.
