erickdt Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I am sending MAX files (vray) to the Rendercore rendering farm and they have told me that they will not render at the full resolution that I need 6400 x 4800. I am freaking out!!! Obviously this defeats the whole entire purpose of me sending it to them. They are saying that it (MAX) closes out half way thorugh rendering and it is because of an error that they can't figure out. Anyone who knows how to fix this or who has experienced this would be my hero if they could help me figure this out. Also my deadline is today!!!

manta Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Can't they render them in strips, and maybe then you could assemble them in PS yourself, how many pics are they rendering ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erickdt Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 I have 11 still images. Right now they're trying to do a split frame rendering (which is maybe what you're talking about?). We'll see what happens with that. I was under the impression that this was going to be a realtively easy process that would greatly decrease my stress level but it has turned out to be the opposite.

manta Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 unfortunatly nothing is ever as easy as it should be, and unfortunatly its hard to say what the solution is without knowing what the problem is...and they're supposed to be the experts on this anyway, so I hope it works out for you...if you get some more info, post it and maybe someone will recognize the problem...

BrianKitts Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 have you considered dropping your resolution? I've had banners 12 foot wide printed from a 3000 pixel wide image. You could stand 2 feet from it and it still looked clean. There's a few threads on this site about billboard printing and how big you really need to go. http://www.cgarchitect.com/vb/search.php?searchid=644584 I forget exactly but major billboards are printed at less and 100 dpi if I remember quickly. Anyone who asks for 10 foot wide @ 300 dpi should be drop kicked to the head IMO. Anyways...... you are probably erroring out based on the system can not allocate enough memory for an image that large. Unless you are rendering to a vray image file, I highly doubt you could pull that off that large. Not to mention once it does get rendered to an image file... you're probably going to have a +5 gig file maybe more for an image that size. as suggested before I would try strip rendering. or dropping your resolution. If you're sending it out to someone who is demanding a certain size res it back up in photoshop..... but don't do it all in one shot if it's over a 200% increase. I once read you get better photoshop quality blowing things up, if you only go in increments of 200% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
