Hi -- I'm on a Mac G3, OSX, Carrara 2. I've got a file that I'm trying to render out as a quicktime movie using the global illumination renderer, caustics on but without indirect lighting enabled. It rendered earlier when I was testing it, but now that I've finished it, it doesn't seem to want to work. When I try to render, it renders the first frame fine, but then as it's loading the sample illumination for frame two, as soon as the status bar hits about 80% (sometimes 79.9%, sometimes 80%), the computer just hangs and I have to restart. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? I'd appreciate any help!
