roangutierrez Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Hi, im trying to render my model (please kindly see image attachment), and as soon as "building light cache" reach after several minutes, 3ds max suddenly closes.. I've already made my vray settings into the lowest possible that can fit my model.. still the same thing happens.. Is my model that heavy already? Im not using any displacement modifiers, HDRI.. My materials are just plain vray dirtmaps/bitmaps.. What do you think has caused the problem? Is it because of RAM? My laptop only has 3gb ram installed.. win7.. I know thats very unfortunate of me.. I've rendered several interiors already and it did fine, this is my first exterior render.. and its not working well.. Please do help me.. PLEASE.

Clanger Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Might well be RAM not sure. The only time this happened to me was when I had a subsurface material on the marble floor I had used, long shot I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francisco Penaloza Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Can be memory, can be a big texture loading, can be a non VRay material, raytracer or something estrange. I'll recommend to debug your scene, hide everything but selected objects and try to render separate, until you find the one that is bugging you, if everything render fine separate, then there is a big chance that it is memory. Try to use instances as much as possible, collapse mesh and modifiers, those cabins looks pretty similar to me if they are identical or just mirrored, I would proxy one, if problems stills, you may ned to render your scene by parts and compose later, Foreground landscaping, Background Landscaping, Cabins and details.

neil poppleton Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 probably a ram issue. Try a simple material overide to everything and see what happens, may point you to review materials if it renders ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
