For all of you who experience out-of-memory problems when rendering 3D (Poser, Vue, Bryce, ...), video or music in a 32-bit environment, I've written an illustrated tutorial on how to cope with it.

Available on my site, and soon via the Renderosity Tutorial section too, I hope. Download as PDF and support software is available too (yeah, free).

Go www.artbeeweb.nl (and pick the Techno branch), or go http://www.main.artbeeweb.nl/?p=2429 directly. All comments and suggestions for further improvement are very welcome.

Enough physical RAM for all your simultaneous programs, and enough user memory for one single program, really are separate things. Solving one will not solve the other.

Will it tell me how to make Vue stop crashing with 12 DDR3 LOL

...didnt think so :( 

I will check it out anyway (;

Thanks, I'll check it out. 

hi RP Studio,

it will tell you how to stop crashing a 32-bit Vue on a 32-bit Windows, despite the amount of RAM you throw at it.

For 12Gb I do hope you  run 64-bit Windows, otherwise 8 of it rests in vein. And if you also run 64-bit Vue or 32-bit Vue 8 (which is Large Address Enabled), I can tell you your crashing is not memory related. If you run 32-bit Vue 7 in a 64-bit Windows, the tutorial tells you how to deal with its limits too.

Hope this helps.
 

Yeah, i run 64 bit windows 7. I love it.

I was mostly joking about Vue. I have ben using it for like 8 years or so and it has never been entirely stable. If you found a work around good for you. i know a LOT of people will be greatful :D

all i can say is im glad the people who build airplanes dont have e-ons attitude to the finished product or a LOT of people would be dead lol 

I remember an interview I read in 3D world Magazine where the person being interviewed commented that they hated all 3d apps as they all fail when you absolutly need em to work.

hi all,

the tutorial is in the Renderosity Tutorials section too, now. Actually it's in some Poser section thereof, but who cares.

have fun, and render.

Quote - I have ben using it for like 8 years or so and it has never been entirely stable.

VUE is 'crash dedicated' software.  :D

My most stable version of VUE was...Vue 4 d'Esprit.

Next, newest versions always crashed when...a moon shining on the night sky or when my beer was too cold. The causes has always been different. :(

But I LOVE VUE because...my love for VUE is platonic. :D
