Error trying to render high res.

[gazbo]

My first post here so hi everyone,

 

Some help would be much appreciated with the following problem:

 

I'm getting the following error when I try to render full-size for print (4000 x 3000)

 

RCFG 0.3 error 541001: failed to create frame buffer 0: C:\DOCUME~1\Gareth\LOCALS~1\Temp/fb000.0.3920 (Not enough storage is available to process this command.)

 

Don't know if by storage it means hard drive or RAM. My C: has nearly 70 gig of space, the system is not amazing but it's not bad, I've got an AMD dual core 5600 with 2 gigs RAM.

On the scanline, I had 500mb ram and it never ran out of memory it just took ages, which was fine, I just used to leave it running overnight.

you could render in strips.

Cheers for the reply stripes looks promising but can you do it with just one machine? Most of the people in our office have laptops that they take home.

 

Was thinking about rendering passes would that help do you think?

[Tommy L]

It would, depends how you break down the passes though. Stripes can be done on one machine, yes. You need to set up backbuener on the one machine, send jobs to itself and queue the jobs.

Ok, read the help files, got the stripe render but now I've got loads of buckets that seem to not want to render, see attached.

 

Sorry to keep bugging you, any ideas?

Try Zap's script:

Thanks guys, I've tried zap's script which is really cool, but for some reason I'm getting differences in the tiles. Some blend seamlessly others have completely different colours. I'm playing around with the overlap settings but this is really eating up a lot of time.

 

Cheers for the help though.
