Memory managment

[fobus]

Is there any settings in Corona to manage memory use? I've run out of memory in process of adding details in scene of exterior. After adding some more trees models memory use was grown above 20Gb...

There is not any memory cap setting, although there could be in future. For the time being, you could try to set embree tris. option to low-memory. This should reduce memory usage at some expense of speed :)

Thank You. I've already tried to use this option and it helps to save 20% of memory use in this scene (so with this option turned OFF it needs to 120% of 20Gb and with turned ON it needs "only" 100% of memory...). So pity not to have memory cap feature... Proxy system has no effect without option to load/unload proxies at rendertime. Don't You know is this in plans?

loading/unloading is definitely one of the trickier features to implement, it will take a lot of time

It is a very handy feature for rendering huge scenes. Do You plan to implement it?

[Ondra]

It is planned only after the commercial release

May be exists a different way to reduce memory use? (aside from simplifying scene) Or there is no way around it?
