[Max] I need help! / Will 1.7 improve memory usage?
« on: 2017-10-10, 14:39:21 »
Hi,
Could anyone tell me if version 1.7 will improve memory usage?
My PC (just other two and bit years old now) has the below key stats:
32GB Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz - 4 DIMMs
4th Generation Intel Core i7-4790 processor (8M Cache, up to 4.0 GHz)
AMD Radeon(TM) HD R9 270 2GB GDDR5
…and like many others, when rendering a not overally complicated scene (interior or exterior) over 3507x2480 it takes around 6/7 hours to do just two pass’s (over night) before I cancel it.
Looking at upgrading or buying a new 64gb machine to combat this is quite a costly process, and having never really had any unmanageable major memory issues with Vray, I wonder if this is the only answer?
I’ve been through my scene / scenes and optimised them as much as possible …following others advice on this forum (which is excellent) …but can now only conclude that either future versions want to make this more manageable or I need to spend a lot of money on a new machine to just be able to use Corona at a commercial level.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Chris
