Title: Unknown Render Error in Thread
Post by: Henry Blewer on November 21, 2009, 08:35:27 AM
I had a render error during one of my long renders. It occurred sometime about 24 hours into the image. The top row of the image had finished the final pass. The error was "Unknown Render Error in Thread".
So here's the tgd file and the system info. This is a new one for me. Sometimes I get get the "Error in Population Count" message.

I don't have the objects the scene contains so I can't properly try to reproduce the problem. But it sounds like a probable memory error.

I have noticed that the swap file gets quite large during a render, mostly at high resolutions. I'll try re-booting than starting a fresh thread.
