  • Not Enough Memory Error

    Posted by Scott Linkous on June 10, 2008 at 3:00 pm

    I am trying to render a scene and I keep getting an error that says NOT ENOUGHT MEMORY. I have tried the boot.ini trick.

    The scene has a total of 108 instances of 1 light. If I turn off the instances it renders. Can you have too many instances in a scene?

    The machine I working on has Dual Intel Xenon 2.33Ghz Processors with 4GB of RAM. I also have a Radeon x195 Pro graphics card. I am using C4d versio 10.5.

    I hope someone can help me.

    My guess is that your light is using soft shadows, which can eat up a lot of memory — especially if it’s an omni light.

    Instances don’t reduce memory consumption at render time, so it’s just like you had 108 lights (or whatever) in the scene.
