Quote - 32bit Poser can only handle a max of 2GB of memory on a 32bit operating system. Of that 2GB a portion of it is used by the program and shared data (DLL's in Windows). So you have 1500-1700MB of data for your scenery. If you look at the task manager or other tool you find out who and what uses up memory. In Poser 7 and 8 I was able to load 3-4 v4's with outfit and I would hit the maximum. No memory leaks, just all the data which Poser uses.

If you go to 64 bit for Poser and the Operating systems, those limits disappear and you can allocate as much as your hardware allows. In very large scenes Poser will sometimes allocate more than 32GB.

2GB for each process, 2GB for kernel... poser.exe and ffrender.exe are separate, so maybe you could get to 8GB plus whatever else is running on your machine while rendering? I often exceed 7GB of total physical memory while rendering, but poser.exe has never gone much over 1GB for me. FFrender.exe, on the other hand, regularly reaches 4GB. At that point, it almost always crashes.

The resolution of the render must make a difference, as I can often complete a scene at 2500 x 2500 pixels, but will fail 2/3 of the way through at 4000 x 4000. So when you say that you can render 4 x V4's, so can I. At 1000 x 1000 pixels, I can render almost anything. But at 4000 x 4000 I am seriously limited.

Daz Studio has always been better for rendering larger resolutions. I found it to be the case back when I was using Poser 5 and DS 1, and it's the case now.

Agree... 64 bit version of Poser would probably resolve my memory issues.

Quote - My friend as example, he has no problem in Poser , with the same config and almost the same machine. But we have not the same software installed. maybe there is a software which simply disturb Poser.

I go out of memory during build up my scene. And believe me, i really try everything.

But face it, Poser is far away to be a good renderer. He has for sure his very good sites, but the render engine is buggy and should be improved.

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one suffering with Poser 8 memory issues. I can find no explanation for my problems, either.
