Title: Large renders crashes all the time
Post by: RolandB on 2014-03-07, 14:55:09

Hi
I have a big problem when I want to render a higher image than 5000pix large.
Last was that night with a 5500*3500pix that I've launched yesterday and this morning is was always the "rendering initial pass".
The memory used was 10512Mo and I couldn't stop the render, just shutdown the computer.

My computer is a HPZ600with 12Go RAM, 2 intel proc 2.40Ghz on Windows 7.
Corona version is AlphaV5.
Is there anyone which have the same problem, because I have finished this professional project and have to post my renders to my customer !
Thanks a lot for the help
Roland

in VFB tab, set internal resolution to 1. That will partially help

Thanks keymaster I'm trying now with a light version of my interior render :)

Any displace map too much detailed or large? Or any very complex proxy scattering?

Thanks Alessandro for these details: anyway there is no displace map and no proxy in this scene, only a hair&fur carpet.
@keymaster : it seems that a "light" version of the scene (some hide furniture like sofa, chairs) is rendering correctly. The initial pass is almost done with a 6000pix large render ! What is this "internal resolution" at what is it corresponding ?

it is by default 2, which effectively doubles the resolution. It is necessary for antialiasing of light edges

It's now working fine; 3rd pass for a full scene in 6000pix; thanks a lot Keymaster and thanks for this wonderful product (that yesterday was a f....ing damn product :)
