VRay Memory Failure
-
Hi Guys,
My latest render has paused, the buffer screen gone blank and this message is repeating over and over with increasing numbers in the last two figures."Exception: Memory allocation failure; 1120000 bytes requested; 826809975 bytes already in heap; 4592472 bytes free heap space."
The only setting I changed from the previous successful render was the hdr file in the GI Skylight.
Any ideas what is happening and what I can do to fix?
I'm using the latest demo release.
Thanks

what's the size of your render?
Got much displacement? -
Hey Thomas,
Render size is 1854w x 1200h.
Small amount of displacement in grass. -
Is the grass displacement a single large face?
-
2 separate areas

Im doing some big renders with big hdri files. The redering goes well with a smal objek. adding the giant model for renering will give me this message or just crash before and say something like check if theres space left in the temp folder. I did check that have about 70gigs left on the drivers, tries some pagefile settings and still no change. Is there any memmory allocation settings that I have missed?

Could be a bug...I failed to render with my old HDRI's...@200mb, but it worked fine in the past. Could be a bug in this last release??

I had a similar problem in both SU and 3ds Max when trying to render certain animations and scenes with large areas of Displacement.
Try this link (http://vray.us/vray_documentation/vray_troubleshooting.shtml) and check out the part about the 3gb switch in your boot.ini file in the "excessive memory usage while rendering" section. The tech guy at my office changed this for me since I am running a 32 bit system currently and I am pretty sure it solved those problems as my renderings are all working now. Hope this helps.

I'm having the same problem with a file of mine...
it won't render at all... even though it did before!
the file weighs about 32Mb, has a few jpeg textures of facades, etc. but no displacement or anything...
what can I do??
