Well thanks everyone but this is the first time that I have heard any of this. I wonder why no one let me know about posting my pictures.

Thanks for the heads up Drac, I would never of known.....................

EngleWolf, now you know how I feel, I cannot for the life of me figure out why Bryce still has this memory problem. They must be aware of the issue you would think. I am just surprised that this issue has not been resolved from the previous versions.

I would love to import some of my new models into 7 and see how it renders them. During the beta testing, I started trying to use some of the models I created in 5.5 but every time it crashed Bryce.

After that I decided not to waste time building modeling using 7 for fear that in the end I would not be able to even get the models to render not to mention all the time that it would take to create these ships.

On the average one of my spaceship project can take 2 to 3 months to create the model and to spend that amount of time not knowing if I could actually see the results made me rethink the whole project.

If I find out anything about this memory issue, I will post the results here.

Thanks for your time and effort,

David

Hello Englewolf and AgentSmith,

believe me that I would love to add more to the picture but Bryce 7 Pro crashes before it loads the entire file and that is just the 300 meg file. The same file will load correctly every time in 5.5 with no problem. In addition, this is not exclusive to this computer but to over 5 different computers.

There is a big memory problem with Bryce 7 Pro. I remember when Bryce 6 was in Beta and I tried to load one of my files and it would just lock up. I had to end the program in task manager in order to get Bryce to respond and that just shut the program down. I sent that file to DAZ for testing and they could not get the file to load either. However, that same file loaded every time in Bryce 5.5 so is it me or are we still dealing with a memory issue that no one really wants to address?

What is so different with Bryce 5.5 that they could not use some of the same coding to handle the memory issue that I see in 7 pro.

The bottom line, I want Bryce 7 to be all it can be but this issue still remains.

David

Quote - What single file do you guys have that are 300mb and 500mb??  ;o)

The file that I am reffering to are some of my spaceships and the one that I was talking about is my redesign USS Shenandoah and it is only the Command deck and HAB. I haven't even thought about adding the Lander or the engine section which would push the file size up to alomst a gig.

I wish they would of work more on memory issue then they did.

Is anyone having the same problem that I am having, not being able to import files created with Bryce 5.5 into 7 Pro. It seems that there is still the problem with handling memory. It will not handle a 300 Meg file but I can import that same file into Bryce 6.3 and it will load correctly every time. But if you add more parts to that file in 6.3 it will run out of memory and will crash Bryce.
The only version of Bryce that still seem to be able to handle large files over 300 Meg's is 5.5.
I even created the model in Bryce 7 Pro thinking that it may work better and allow me to start using this version but, it will still crash the program even though I have only created about 75% of the same model.
Memory still seems to be the biggest problem that this new version of Bryce has not been able to resolve.
I am running Win XP SP3 with 3 gigs of ram actually 4 but a 32 bit OS only uses 3 gigs and video cards that has either 512 to 1 Gig of memory. This issue occurs on 5 different computers. So I do not believe that the issue lies with the computers.
Any thoughts!

Thanks,

David

What program are you referring too, I am fairly good at modeling in Bryce.

10thWay, thanks for the info..........

Hey Thanks bonestructure, I will try to see if that works.

All the best,

David

goofygrape, I am looking for help not stupid statements. Grow up!

Retrocity, thanks for the info.

I have a question, when is the deadline for this contest? Also, I wonder if my picture would past muster for this type of contest. As it is hard to do work like Bonestell. He was in a league of his own. As far as my pictures are concern I may get about 20 comments on any given image I post but I see people that post space pictures here at Rederosity that get 3 times the response that I do. I do appreciate all the comment that I get as that means a lot to me but it does make me think if my stuff is just too boring. If the contest is still open this weekend I will try to come up with something if it is not too late.
Could someone let me know about the deadline for this contest.

Thanks,

David

PS: I have been away for a while so sorry for not posting anything lately.

Hey Thunderstone thanks for the info, I might just try what you said even though my pictures look better at larger resolution then what the Sci-Fi weekly is requesting. 
Thanks again for all the informations.

David

I would like to thank everyone again for all their input. I guess what bothers me the most is the fact that DAZ uses me and my work to sell Bryce6 under Bryce on the job but, also at the same time my work is not good enough to display in the Bryce monthly gallery. To me this shows DAZ as hipocrite. This is truly sad because if they would take the program seriously and develope this program correctly it could become quite profitable.
They already have a tremendous base of people using this program, it is almost like not seeing the tree for the forrest. Truly a sad state of affairs.

Cheers,

David

The reason I wanted to get other peoples opinion about DAZ is because they told me first hand that my work was not good enough. This I thought was strange because they use me and my work to showcase Bryce.

I just wanted to know if other people have come across the same situation. Also by the way I was not looking for a pat on the back I just wanted to know if anyone had experience what I had and now I know.

Thanks again for all the feedback.

Cheers,

David
