how to increase memory in max

[nodar1978]

hello guys

i use max, and when i'm opening quit complicated model of tree, with lots of leaves, it is getting difficult to wotk in scene, some time it creshes, especially when i'm attacheng all objects (meshes) for saving later as a proxy object.

is it possible to increase max memory (same as in vray you can increase dinamic memory) ?

 

thanks

no, only soluton is more system ram, and faster graphics card.

You can use the usual tricks of making the trees show as boxes, and use adaptative degradation for the viewports...etc. to make things faster.

if you're attaching meshes, invoke the garbage collector periodically to purge the amount of RAM that max is eating up.

 

type GC() into the maxscript listener

If your using a 32bit machine you could try the 3G switch, works well for rendering, not sure about when your just working in max as that's so dependent on your graphics card.
