I've now got 6GB Memory for my Dell T7400 Dual Xeon Quad Core system.
Attempting to render an image greater than 9000 x 4500. My target is to have an image at least 12,000 x 6,000
I'm receiving error messages and the program Crashes:
"Runtime Error!
Unable to allocate memory for subdiv cache. You may be able to avoide this error by reducing the subdiv cache in your render settings"
Ok, so I reduce the subdiv cache. And when I do I then get this error message:
Size of subdiv cache per thread is only 75MB (300/4) which could reduce performance. You may want to increase
the size of the subdivcache or reduce the number of threads.
I've read up on the 3/GB PAE Switch, and am unable to tell if it's either on or off. Running Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3.
I've tried various number of cores and threads - but same results (Crash.)
I've also tried Cropping and runing portions of the image - same results. (Crash.)
Any suggestions?
I will say that I'm currently runing the nice "Advanced Cloud Test" image submitted by Blonderator (nice image by the way.)
Running it at the 1500x1125 size, 8 cores, 800mb Cache, [ ] Preallocate subdiv cache unchecked
And it's almost fishished at 14hrs.
