Help!! RW camera jinks!

[VincentCuclair]

Of course this happens when I have a deadline, please help, any suggestions much appreciated.

Pic 1 shows a rendering of a RW camera view with strange things happening!?

Pic 2 shows a rendering of the front view the way it should render!

Both done within 30 secs of each other.

I had no problems with this file last night, then I started up tonight and problems, WHAT IS THIS!!!!????

This happened with existing cameras but also with newly placed ones......

Final Quality Renderworks.......

I want to say recursion levels are causing that. Which may mean you are hitting the edge of your memory. Did you add more trees or things?

[VincentCuclair]

No, I split the terrain into several bits.......if I'm already hitting memory problems with one church and one addition what will happen when I try modeling a 10 story apartment block........I'll try removing some trees......thanks for the input!

No go...... I copied everything to a new file and problem solved??!

It's this kind of unexplainable instability that really gets to me, time for a total rebuild, this was a fairly straight forward small size file!?? What happens when working with large projects.......very frustrating!

Just an update, the reason was a dwg I had import in the later stages, apparently this took up a lot of memory, there are always an absurd amount of symbols when importing dwgs, just a tip for everyone in the future, don't import dwgs in you active file instead create a new file import the dwg and then reference this into your active file.

To reiterate a long standing VW rule ...

NEVER ... import DWG... into an Active File !
