Popultion limit

dhavalmistry · February 18, 2007, 11:09:34 AM

I was wondering if there is any limit to how many different populations you can have in a scene (I have deep version). I know there is a limit of 3 populations in free version....but that is not my concern....I am working on a scene for moodflow's challenge and I have one population of trees and it works fine....I also added 2nd population of trees (different kind) and when I try to render....TG2 crashes....

I know I should send this to support people...but are already working on my other scene and it seems they are busy as they havent replied in a while now....so if this problem is solved here...it would be good....

ok....I found something....its not my xfrog plant....I rendered a population without giving its textures and it worked fine....then I applied textures to them....and it crashed....so obviously there is something wrong in textures part.....the textures I am using are in TIFF format and they came with the model....

hmm thats should not be the problum then. Are you using any really big image files or is the size of the population really really big?
