Cinema 4D Rendering simply stops

[Anonymous]

I've run into an issue with Cinema 4D rendering. Instead of building a preview of a 3D ArchiCAD window it stops after a few seconds returning a black screen. Same thing for when I ask it to render the entire 3D window.

I have plenty of RAM and a fast iMac.....

Anyone else run into this? The only thing that seems to work is quitting ArchiCAD and restarting it...which is a pain in the rear especially if you happen to have a mechanical hard drive vs. an all-solid state memory pack.

Same here!

If I select an object, wall or slab it renders fine but as I try to render the hole scene it goes black after preparing. It never starts to calculate.

Is this true for all your files or just a particular one(s)?

Do the problem files generate any errors? (turn error reporting on).

Just the one and there are no errors!

I'm in contact with GS on this topic.

I had a similar issue recently with a slab. Though a process of elimination I found a surface that I had manipulated that was causing the issue.

Perhaps check the surfaces? That's all I've got for now mate.

Could you elaborate on this? I'm having the same issue after changing some surfaces. I've tried reverting them back to where they started and I can't seem to get it working again.

Is there a particular aspect of the surfaces I should be focusing on?

Thanks!

A ram low speed maybe an issue in regards couple with a dense vegetation landscape can stop the rendering.
