Title: (suite) low light
Post by: Jo Kariboo on October 06, 2020, 11:28:02 PM
(suite) low light
vegetation: Xfrog
terrain start with a file of WAS
Moai replic by Geoffrey Marchal

No idea if I will improve this image. This TGD has crashed so often, that despite partially finding the cause, I'm sick of it.

That's indeed too bad, as it is a beautiful render! It doesn't look like it would crash. Too heavy for your memory?

Looks good.
Curious why it crashes.

Thanks all for comments!

@Kadri
Maybe someone from Planetside will find an answer.

The issue seems regarding aborting threads from what you indicate. I would try to just X out the 3D preview, and unfortunately use a quick render node to do small renders, or use a full render with crops to check your work. Not really the best solution.

I do wonder if this is just related to older hardware? Terragen liked to crash when it was aborting threads a lot when I used a compute stick, and it did the same thing when I emulated it on my LG G8, and had to pause/close preview to get the software to function. (Come to think of it, it was doing this under Windows 10 emulated on my server; which has full virtualization support to setup multiple OS's)

On Windows, UAC Support for legacy hardware/drivers shows disabled for Terragen (though can be enabled manually) so by default it may not be using anything it may need to on older hardware.

I posted this in the wrong thread....

Thanks Jordan, actually hard to tell what's going on with this file, probably memory problem. My computer is from 2011, it's already old and I don't have the latest version of OSX either, which doesn't help my cause.

For the moment I have found a request to save this file, remembering to deactivate the Heighfields.

Merci Luc, j'ai finalement trouvé une solution pour sauver les fichiers et je devrais me remettre bientôt à retravailler cette image!

I can't decide. All very good!

Despite the crashing, it was well worth your time.

Congratulations for a very climatic and appealing piece. :)

Number 2 - I like non-default atmospheric effects.

Beautiful image. Like them all. Sorry to hear you're still having problems. As I understand it, the issue isn't with the rendering; instead, it's getting the file to load properly with the heightfields, correct?

Thanks! Yes indeed for the problems as we had discussed on this thread. I would add that my computer is starting to show signs of weakness as well.
