This is my second vue image and I am having a problem with the rendering. I like to render all my images at 2000 pixels along the longest edge and when I try to do this with Vue3 it lets me do the actual render but as soon as it starts to antialias my machine crashes with a fault in the ENGINE.DLL caused by Vue, the biggest I have been able to render is 800x600 and this is nowhere near big enough for my purposes. Is anyone else having this problem. Despite the problems I still managed to get this pic out of it please tell me what you think. Chris-S

Forgot to say that this is a full version of Vue3 not a demo and I have installed the upgrades from eon this problem does not occur when I render in preview mode. Chris-S

heya; wow, this looks great! is that moss on the tree just a material mixed with the bark? no, havent had any problem with the anti-aliasing; but i havent done 2000 pixels tall/wide. did you contact e-on about the problem? did you try rendering without anti-aliasing? (i dunno, i always thought bryce renders looked better without it, anyway.) or... there's a thing to turn the anti-aliasing down. check page 79 of the manual. as i understand it, vue shoots more rays to anti-alias, rather than, like... smudging 2d pixels.

I have never heard of this problem. The only thing I could suggest is to uninstall and reinstall from scratch...other than that, e-on should be more help. btw, nice image. My only suggestion is maybe turn down the lighting. Looks like somebody turned up the brightness on my monitor :) -karl

oh yeah, I render at 2400 x whatever, so 2000 shouldn't be a problem.

ok this is a stretch, but have you checked your drive for errors? If you are using that many pixels, there's a chance that you're using a lot of VM space, and if you are hitting a bad / mis-allocated sector, then it might account for the problem. Also, are you rendering under 95/98 or NT? 95 and 98 manage memory very poorly, so there is a chance that this is producing the error. Good luck- Brent
