      The main file is about 9;46 meg at the moment but i am working in bits and pieces in various other drawings of the same project, that is where i am now running into problems with rendering the model the following ate the bestquality that i can get at the moment without my poor old laptop bombing out

            you mean the file is too big for kerk or SU? I thought your model size was just under 10MB?, is it usual for kerk to struggle with models 10MB plus or does it depend on your computer?

              Say what...??? πŸ˜•
              I've never had such a problem in KT...!!

              What can cause problems is if you have a huge number of lights in your scene combined with self-emitting mesh and then if you use one of the photonmap render presets...
              I have a 56Mb SU scene giving me huge issues in SU but none in KT and it renders without any difficulties... πŸ˜‰

              Please don't spread such false rumours...!!

              Cheers

                lol what you talking about spreading rumors?
                I was asking a question in response to this statement:

                "The main file is about 9;46 meg at the moment but i am working in bits and pieces in various other drawings of the same project, that is where i am now running into problems with rendering the model the following ate the bestquality that i can get at the moment without my poor old laptop bombing out".

                Thats why I was curious as im interested in getting Kerk but was worried about my laptop freezing as some of my models are 100MB.

                  Sorry - I misunderstood your first comment and thought it was a statement rather than a question... 😳

                  In KT you can work with very huge models for sure... πŸ˜‰
                  You can see an example I've posted in the Looking for a good software for rendered animations thread... The museum model is impossible to work with in SU, but I had no issues at all in KT... πŸ˜‰

                  P.S. dolphus - sorry for the hi-jacking of your thread...

                    No problem, i know that it is not the Kerkythea, but my own laptop has a bug at the moment it cuts out if i push it a bit it is a memory related bug as it does the same thing when my train simulator has been running for a few minutes, and if i have several programs open and go online to download things, with my limited knowledge of hardware i am trying to find the problem, any help will be greatly appreciated

                      Sadly this is as far sa i can go with the problem on my laptop, this was done at an image size of 500x500 and the quick setting anything higher than this mt laptop switches itself off after about 8 minutes, i may get a chance to have it looked at next week....so for now the loco is on hold..thanks for the comments and discussion to all
