Hey Everyone, I have Bryce 3D, and I'm trying to find where to set the prefernces for the amount of RAM usage. I have Susan Kitchens' book on Bryce 2, and it says the option is in the preferences for assigning Physical Memory. Can't find it in Bryce 3D. Help, where can I set the Physical Memory in B3D???? Thanks, Stuie

It sounds like a Mac problem.As much as I know, you have to set it in your Operating-System.

If you are using a mac, click on the Bryce application icon. Type command I to get information on the application. If you are running system 8 or higher, use the pull down menu in the popup window to go to memory. (older systems, the memory info will be in the popup window--just change your settings) Change your memory settings (but remember to allow enough for the system). You can give Bryce more memory than you actually have if you have virtual memory turned on. If you are on a PC, don't worry. It will take what it needs.

on a pc it will automatically take the memory that it needs. and then some.. it starts using your hdd free space as virtual memory and man can it use up ram... i have 256megs in my machine and it never fails bryce uses all my ram and continues eating till it has my hard drive crying too :)

Yeah, Bryce is a very greedy program.

Thanks everyone! I do have a PC so I guess I'll just let things move as they have been. As far as a greedy program goes, it really doesn't matter. The computer is pretty much dedicated to 3D stuff. By the way, HAWKFYR, I just got my 2nd lenticular image back. You have the dolphin piece. I just got my proofs back for the killer whale piece. 100% Poser & Bryce. My next one will be imaged and mounted into lenticular in the next two weeks. That one has killer whales & penguins at the surface.
