3dax shut down during rendering

[zoeb]

HI all,My scene is shutting of during the rendering:( it really killing me for few days.

1.When its 320*240 render its ok.when i CHANGES to higher it renders 4passes during the rendering then just turn off,i set the render on and off many times even changed the settings to other settings.but all the same.(plus its a restaurant scene and i merged a table set.i think its taking a long time and it may efect to turning off so i only set 5 table icant have 1 table in restaurant right )

win 7 pro 32bit intel corei5 200cpu, 3.1 GHZ, NVidia geforce GT440, 4096ram 3dmax2010 32bit, vray 1.5

render setting is adaptive-subdivision, mitchell-netravali

enviromnt off,color mapping HS-exponential ,

Brute force-light cache

2.also all the light except vray sun doesnt light.only one scene lights and other light just doesnt.

PLEASE HELP ME TELL ME SOME SOLUTION TO IT

I would first suggest changing Brute Force to Irradiance Map as your primary, with a Medium present.

sounds like running out of ram...

 

have you watched the task manager during rendering? does it top out?

does it get past calculating the light cache? do you have displacement?

any weird materials? like evermotion ones from the 'merged table set'

May be you can try to increase "dynamic memory limit" from V-ray::System (example 1000 MB) and try to render your scene again.

Thanks all very much for the reply and the Help.Any idea about lighting?like i said all lights are doesnt lighting or should i say not working?:-P

i added like 17vray lights for the windows,vray sun, and 29 vray ies.4 vray for the walls it just doesnt light except a little light coming from a window

For interior scene a few tips:

1. for indirect lighting primary bounces don't use Brute force, but Irradiance map (medium settings)

2. use Light cache for secondary bounces

3. avoid Vray Sun and Sky for interior completely if you are beginner

4. therefore also do not use Vray Physical Camera, it's suitable ONLY for Vray sun and sky, not for standar or photometric lighting.

Buy more ram. 16 is good amount these days. Up the dynamic vray limit to atleast 50perc. of your physical ram. Use IR+LC combo, both on low present to start. Turn off antialising, later add some easy one like area 1.5 but not netravali to start with !

 

It's ram problem.

Thanks Juraj!get teh ram problem. kind of didnt get the IR LC things kkkk,Bt thanks anyway

i ' ve a problem in rendering of my file.. i don't konw why it takes long time? my pc is win7,corei7,ram 4G.. but my file that is the livingroom scene took 8 hours to render whereas my file have 37 mb size:(.. please help me to reduce my render time at lease one hour

[Nic H]

try to download all the evermotion scenes and study the masterful set up they use

from practice will come mastery

[elnaz]

could you share that link here?

The size of the file doesn't decide how long rendering time will be, nor does your operating system per se. It is the inner architecture of your scene that matters most - setting of materials and lights, type of objects (low poly, high poly, proxy...), system settings in render setup menu (e.g. memory size limit) and above all the indirect illumination settings you make. And to do this right first you need some practice and experience, as the "two dashes guy" already stated.
