I ran into an interesting problem when I was working on a new scene last night (see link). For some reason, the rendering in 'final' would stop between 50% and 75% of completetion, regardless of the resolution of the picture. I tried playing with the memory settings of windows, removed any unnecessary service on the system, limited the number of transparent materials... nothing worked. It was not a matter of file size (the scene is 32M and I did not have any problem with previous scenes or the same size). It was not a problem of complexity (only 3 million polygons). The problem was : too many lights :) 10 point lights plus the sun light is too much for a PIII 800 with 256 M of RAM. I limited the lights to 7 and got the pictures rendered fine. So... if your Vue freezes unexpectedly during rendering, check out your lights.
