  • “Out of Memory” while sitting at 9.5 GB

    Posted by Chris Arnold on April 18, 2008 at 6:27 pm

    I am running Cinema on Mac OSX 10.5, with a quad core power mac with 9.5 GB of Ram.

    I have a basic scene, a polygon object with a hypernurbs as the parent. This is parented by a boole with a pyramid subtracting, and the whole thing is animated.

    Now when ever I try to render this scene at 1280 by 720, DPI at 72, saving the format as a quicktime it provides me with a nice error message “out of memory.”

    Knowing I have 9.5 GB I cannot see this as the issue.

    So I tied some trouble shooting, and even when I place a basic cube in the scene, make the original object invisible in renderer and editor, still, “out of memory”.

    What do you think?

    Is your memory all matched pairs?

    How many polys before the nurbs and how many after the nurbs?

    I do have matched pairs of Ram.

    As for Cinema 4d, I did a deeper look, and with the current 32 bit version, only 4gb of Ram can be used. They are working on the 64 bit version which can support more.

    The object that I used in the scene had a lot of detail for a close shot, but then I used it in another scene so it did have too much polys for my machine to handle. I turned down the hypernurbs amount to 2 in editor and 3 in renderer. That solved it for me.
