Large scale project rendering - Light Works

[Anonymous]

Salam=Peace!

I have a large project and i need to render it with my light works engine in archicad 12. my pc is dual core 2.4 Ghz processor and 3.25 gb of ram.

The picture rendering never complete due an error message of lack of space to make the rendering.

I 've tried to turn off the anti-aliasing and the reflection in the photo rendering settings dialog box but nothing worked yet!

What do you suggest?!

Could you post a screenshot of your PhotoRendering Settings?

If I had to guess, it might be the size and resolution that is causing this.
Try using a resolution of 200 dpi. Anything more than that is not necessary.
For print outs on 8.5x11in, a width of 1400 pixels is okay.

Sorry for the late reply.

looks like your settings are on default, a few things to try out:

- turn your camera light off
- try rendering without the trees, assuming that you are trying to render what I see in your screen shot, those are a lot of trees in the background. If it does render with all the trees off, then I guess you've found your problem. And if it is indeed the problem, then I'd start by using "lollipop" trees for the ones in the back. Or simply reduce the number of trees you have for the purpose of rendering.

With delate.
Turn off sun, ambient and camera if you use the lightworks sun and sky objects on your plan. Always use the bitmap tree object to the background of your scene. Good luck!
