Im very new to this and am having incredible frustrating problems with rendering an image (started with the simple Ben Macduff mountain)
Im getting errors it seems with whatever settings i choose - the errors are trace ray and bucket and message about cache size and also programme crashes
i have intel core i7, 8 cores , and 12gb of Ram
im currently working through resolutions and various cache sizes to try and find a good fit - is there any simple rule of thumb i should be using
currently attempting a 1920x1080 (my desktop size) render with quality 1, anti ailising 2, min thread 0, max thread 4, sub div cache 400mb, bucket 256, atmos quality 18 samples....so far so good task manager shows about 53% of cpu being used and about 3gb of ram
i have tried with 6 threads and 1200mb of cache but it errored and didnt omplete without black spaces
anyone give any pointers to what i should be able to achieve? i appreciate each image is different so this may be difficult to do
incidentally i want to render as large as possible in order i dont have to enlarge with photoshop after
any pointers appreciated
