How can I render this?

Anonymous

I keep getting the message "Not enough memory to render" message. The problem is that the structure is huge. This is the first commercial project I've done and it just so happens to be massive.

I attached the 2 sections that I tried to render and got that message. I'm only trying to render with Method: final, and AA 2/3.

Is there a way to make it render?

Thanks.

ok! try to remove anything that wont be visible to your rendering. furnitures interior stairs even walls. try to make a second file where you will have only the 3d model no layouts no details nothing just the 3d model. i hope u have more than 2giga of ram . i hope this tips will help you.

in the lightworks rendering setting menu, make sure the box that says : "get model data while rendering" is ticked

that will solve it

See these articles:

and

http://www.archicadwiki.com/TechNotes/How%20to%20Check%20Virtual%20Memory%20Usage

Something there may help. I don't think it would matter, other than speed, but upping your memory to 4 GB would help the speed of your machine with a large model like that.

Does it help to reduce the refraction setting of the glass perhaps? Check in the material settings dialog > Lightworks Shader tab > Reflectance > Glass > Refraction. Try a value of 1.0 and see if it makes a difference.

Fix 1: Get artlantis
Fix 2: Get model into 3d Window... save as Object.. be sure to check the AS BINARY button. RENDER the object only...

Fix 3: Get more ram
