Quote - Still nobody answers my questions. (Except seachnasaigh - crosspost) Sigh. I don't understand how Socrates ever accomplished anything.

So I'll answer them.

If you have 24 GB of RAM you are not swapping, and you've got no programs you plan to use that aren't already preloaded. Every program you have is preloaded and waiting to be called upon. Everything you have in your scene fits in memory with room to spare. You could load 80 figures and 150 props (using V4-type figures as an example at 100 MB each, and very complex props at 50MB each) and you'd still use only about 16 GB of RAM - 8 GB would be left unused.

So at that point I'd say without any doubt that more is not better, and is just wasting money.

For some reason, the morph brush seems to use a ridiculous amount of RAM. So I did make a scene with a single M4 and some clothing props, and between proserpro.exe and render.exe, it did max out at more than 9gb of RAM in PP2010 when I got around to rendering.

I suppose I could have just saved the scene after using the morph brush, reloaded, and then rendered. But I was too lazy. If I'd had less RAM, though, I'm going to guess I'd have encountered an error. shrug

I doubt that Plato bothered to record too many of Socrates' failures.
