Title: limit the memory
Post by: gtassoniero on 2022-10-24, 02:09:49

Guys, I'm having a problem when rendering.
Is there a way to control the memory, so as not to give an error and close MAX?
I remember that in Vray there was this option, you could limit the memory.

Open render setup>performance tab and check if out of core textures and conserve memory options are enabled. If enable them doesn't solve your issues, think about optimizing your scene - try to lower displacement usage and settings (increase screen pixel size), ask yourself if you really need 8K textures and if downscaling to 4K would be good enough, if you're using lots of scatters, check if camera culling is enabled in them, etc.

Corona uses as much RAM as the scene requires. The best solutions are always to optimize the scene or install more RAM.

And here is some more information on RAM and how it is used: https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=17892.0
