It could be an ME thing. But I've already rendered much more complex and memory intensive scenes at the same or even higher resolutions before. Setting Windows is to handle the virtual memory settings also didn't work. I am rendering to disk, because rendering to screen doesn't allow me to render at a res higher then 4K wide. If I could render to screen I would just plop-render the rest of the image and paste it under the already finished 45%. I could try using lightning, but I think that would make very little difference with only one PC. I currently have 512MB of RAM and after bryce loads everything and starts rendering there's still about 340MB free. I quess more RAM could never hurt, but I doubt if that is really the problem. I think it might just be the system getting too hot. Unfortunately I can't place my computer in another room. The other bedrooms wouldn't be a good idea, my parents and brother and sister sometimes can't sleep because of the noise comming from my room, so you can imagine what will happen if I place my jetengine-cooled rendermonster in their room. There's not enough space in the livingroom, or the hall and the kitchen wouldn't be safe. And the bathroom would probably be a little too wet 8) My only hope will probably be to get some kind of cooling device to lower the temp of the whole room. I wonder if I have room for a fridge...
