Yes, this was a hard afternoon.
We tried 3 hours and didn't get one render finished in Poser6. Dumps, overflows and more prevent us in joining one render.
Our PC-equipmment:
- P4, 3.0Ghz, SCSI-UW160, 1,5Gb RAM
- Windows XP, SP2
- Poser document with 13 items, Judie, M3 and clothings
First we transfered the poser5-document into Poser6. Then we inboxed an Diffuse IBL-light into our poser-lamp.
First try rendering:
- Firefly draft -> ok
- Firefly prodution (automatically mode)
- loading textures and loading textures. After 15 minutes
we canceled this render. Cancelling render....Cancelling
render. After another 20 minutes we finished poser by
windows task manager
- Reboot and another try
- this time render is coming up, but nearly in solid black.
- again we closed Poser and get into Poser6 again
- next render. This time a message was coming up:
...out of memory (????). We are surprised! 1,5Gb not
enough? And Poser as standalone software? No other
software installed or running, exept Poser 5.
- We reduced firefly production settings.
- Now render starts but stoped in the middle of the picture
No error messages.
- Last try, we deleted items in document. After we had
deleted several items, render was coming to nearly end,
but failed in the last row.
Summary: We are going to try 6spot method in Poser5. In the future we are checking Poser6 render agian, perhaps we made mistakes in using this new program. Perhaps a SP for Poser6 is available soon.
Have a nice day.
