Quote - So far I have not been able to get anything worth while out Carrara7 Pro. I keep getting Memory Alocation Errors from some of the lightest scenes. I think the whole thing needs serious work on DAZ's part. I will continue with 6 Pro until something is done with 7 Pro. Just my thoughts and experience expressed here, so I don't think you have done anything wrong or that it is your drivers.

I am sorry to hear that you are having those problem, so far I haven't had any of that and it turned out my problem was a bad plugin.  

Quote - Do you have a plugin outdated?

I think that was it, these are the 3 that i pulled out effectively that were 'left' over from un-installs. The shoestring shader is a beta, so I will see if there is another out there.

so I will dig some more on those and see about the updates.  I could check to see which one it is thats doing it if anyone is curious.

Thanks again for letting me bounce things off and the suggestions.

I think since the extensions are version dependent there should be some kind of check.

Thanks

I am really hosed now.  I went back to 7.0 and the exact same thing, even the file I worked on before now no longer works.

I simply cannot go into the modeling room with a vertex object.

So its not 7.1.1 but now I am at a total loss as to what to do.  I made sure my drivers where the latest nvidia ones.

The application hangs, shows CPU pegging on one of my cores.

anyways there is the update.. I will update the bug report as well

just tried that, still the same thing.  I am going to have to go back to 7.0  I submitted a bug report though don't know what good that will do.  is yours 7.1.1 or 7.1 in the about box?

Update:

I installed the latest video drivers and it made no difference.

Quote - I had a lot of model and videos using 7.1.1 (one new today about model inVM room) and didint get this error. Since version 7 has a new openGL engine (a better one), do you have your video drives updated?
Try to add a primitive and convert to VM to see whats happen too... very weird thing...

I updated my video drivers a little while back, before I had done the fruit bowl tutorial.

I did that with the primitive and convert to Vertex in the modeling room soon as I told it to convert it locked up.

There is a slight version update from Nvidia I am going to try, to see if it makes a difference.  

It locked up Carrara Hard, and I have to have windows kill it.  

I will post if the new drivers made a difference.

Yup thats what I was thinking, primitive selected or nothing selected. 

Got it Wrench is the modeling room?

A few things first. 

What kind of object do you have selected when you go from the assembly room to the object room if anything or the whole scene? 
Is it a primitive you created or something you have imported or placed from the content window?

One thing that might be helpful is to have a screen shots of the assembly room with the object selected and then whats happening in the modeling room so we can see whats going on.

once you get the basics down I would highly recommend also in addition to mark's tutorials the fruit plate tutorial.  Its at Carraralounge

well even if you allow commercial, put stipulations that nothing for resell such as packs, merchant resources, only final image renders (like Renderosity and others like daz do), no redistribution of the changes/item you made but an image made is fine as long as say a brush for photoshop.  I am not sure of the language but thats what I would say.

Thanks for the heads up.

I thought they said the daz content didn't change only the native one did

stunning work, I will have to go register to add my support over there

very cool thanks and the link to the other thread too
