How to make more memory available to C4D?
How can I make more memory available to C4D?
I have 1 Gig of Ram but C4D falls over dead when i try to import an RW mess from RealFlow3. “OUT OF MEMORY”
The mesh is about 300,000kb.
What is the solution to this?Thanks

Hi,
without knowning what kind of system you have it is hard to give advice. Keep in mind that the filesize of the scene is not related to the amount of RAM needed to keep the scene in memory. Using extreme subdivisions you can bring practicaly every system to a standstill with a cube in a HyperNURBS.

In this configuration CINEMA can use up to about 1.5 Gigabyte. Since i have no idea how the real flow data is handled on import (never used RF) i can’t tell how much memory this is using up.
With Windows 2000 there is no way to increase the amount of memory. With Windows XP there is the option to use the /3GB switch on bootup and get an additional GB of memory available, OS X uses up to 4GB and if you use Windows XP 64 Bit with the 64 Bit version of CINEMA memory is limited practicaly only by harddisk space for swapping (up to one TB).
Things that subtract from the maximum of 2 GB RAM W2K offers for an application are mainly Quicktime (up to a few hundred MB) and the memory of the graphics card that is mapped to RAM (in your case 256 MB).
Cheers

Given win 2k will talk to 2Gig of RAM and a big chunk of this RAM is hogged by the video card and other application I will up the system memory to 2 Gig.
Thanks for the wisdom
