Lack of memory

[td4stage]

Hello all,

I know I saw this topic somewhere on either the forum or the mailing lists, but I cannot remember where so I apologize for the duplication.

Last week when I installed v2008, I tried to render in final quality renderworks a fairly large file, 48 mb, and got an error like, "Operation could not be completed due to lack of memory". At that point I only had 1gb of ram, so I went out and upgraded to 2gb. I reran the render and got the same message! Now I know the computer is recognizing the extra ram. I have not been able to update to SP1 as I have the academic version.

A couple of questions:

1. Why is this happening?

2. Is this a bug that sp1 will fix?

3. When will sp1 be available for E series users?

Thanks in advance,

Pat

Do you have a lot of image props, or image-based textures in the drawing?

Yes I do. Before upgrading to v2008 I had 12.5.2 and although it rendered slowly, it just didn't stop!

Thanks Katie,

It looks like the student copy of VW 2008 released the SP 1 updater earlier today.

Go ahead and try the update and see how the rendering works.

Thanks Katie...I'll give it a shot!

Hi Pat,

SP1 fixed a Mac memory leak issue while rendering.
