Bonjour

I just reinstall Poser pro 2012 in my new computer

Everything seems good with Poser except this

when i click on rendering i got everytime this message:

 '' Texture could not be loaded ,image map could not be found or there is not enough memory ''

Sure i have enough memory (i get 32 gigs on my new system) What else is wrong?

I use Poser since vesion 2 .May be in the past i got this message but i don't reember what to do with this

Since version 7 i never got a message like that

Some suggestions?? 

Thanks

My system is Intel I7 3770,with windows 7 pro,Video card GFORCE GTX 660,32 gis ram, intel ssd 240 gigs (my OS),and two others hard drive

I'm no expert but 2 things it might be is the textures are in a runtime that isn't in poser's library any more. Perhaps a different drive letter or directory than it was in the past. Or you might need to switch the file search to deep in the preferences.

Go into the General Preferences and render to a "Separate Process" and set the cores to the amount of cores on your processor.  Might also check Texture caching in a background thread. You might also take heed to what RedPhantom said and see if the textures are missing for the item/s you are trying to render and/or set the search to deep.

It says: image map could not be found  OR there is not enough memory

It does not say: there is not enough memory

You have tons of memory, so guess what it is?

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)

 

I got the problem with different scenes already saved when i had my old computer and where they was ok for rendering  before

I think also the problem is related with the localisation of the maps But for now i can not know how to solve it. May be during the week end i will try to uninstall -reinstall and see what happen

i have  just reinstalled Poserpro pro and sr1 to sr 3,1 in my old folder of Poser pro 2012 because there were a ton of data there with a very hurge libraries there and in others runtime ---these  others runtine are installed in older Poser 7 and Poser 6 and Poser 5 folders ,referenced in Poser pro 2012 and all installed in E:

 And i am using XL Dimension3d for managering all my libraries This installation were working perfectly  before in my older system 

I also reproduce the older  parameters  used by Poser  before in Users and program data in c:| 

Reinstallation will not accomplish anything, you will still have the old problem.  You will need to manually redirect the image map pathway on the new computer and afterwards resave the scene.

If the scene loads without errors and the error appears only when rendering, the problem may be that a bump or specular or displacement map cannot be found.

The question of which texture is missing can be done in two ways - either by going into the material room and check each material of an attached texture (bump, disp or spec) is empty or is show as completely white - or by turning on the texture search log (WRITE_FILE_SEARCH_LOG 1 in poser.ini) and checking the log for the name of the file when the error occurs. Logfile is located in users//Appdata/Local/Temp/Poser Pro/9. Be sure to have poser NOT runnning when you edit the poser.ini

Checking in the material room is the easiest if it is a small scene, but if it happens more often, turning on the logfile is more convenient.

Possible culprits are a non-present texture, an incompatible texture (shows as white), or an empty image node which is connected

 

Thanks for your suggestion wincdb

i will check

It was strange to me that the scenes already saved are loaded with the textures and  were  ok on the screen ,so maybe the maps were at the good places But when rendering Poser not find it in the place it find when open the scenes

The bump and displacement maps are not loaded in preview - only when you render, so before that it has not encountered the missing textures

 

Merci beaucoup LaurieA

You have the other part of solution

I change these settings in the preferences and everthing seems good now with rendering

In document:

optimization:  select multithresd bending

In render

number of thread :8 (i have now I7 3770)

select run in background thread

Voila!  it working good now

Are you running the 64bit version of Poser? Because if you run out of memory, it looks like you are running the 32bit version. You have an i7, PP2012, so we assumed you did - but that should not run out of memory

 

I am running a 64 bits version and i think my problem was really in the preferences  not with memory

When i change some parameters like  LaurieA suggest my problem was solved Hope this solution will be  a correct one also  for some others with the same situation

FWIW, I could never run a Poser version from 7 and above without turning on "Separate Proces" I'd freeze, I'd crash, I'd get out of memory errors. I however, only have 6 gigs of ram...lol (wish I had 32...hehe).
