Error: Not enough memory for rendering

Has anyone received this error before? I am trying to render an abnormally large assembly at 800 x 320 and the only quality I am able to render in is 'good'. Is this possibly a problem with the assembly itself?

I read somewhere that when rendering all the info is stored uncompressed until it is converted into its specified file type so is there any limitation on the size of the assembly itself? I believe the file size is around 150 MB.

I have 12 Gb of RAM, a quad core processor w/ hyperthreading enabled and a Quadro FX 3800 graphics card.

Update: Is there any limit to the geometry of the assembly? At the time of failure it reads:

Surfaces ~50,000

Segments ~12,500

Vertices ~ 181 M

Polygons ~ 172 M

Geo Memory ~ 154 MB

No one else has this question

I assume you're running PV360 2010? If so PV360 2010 is a 32 bit app so even though you have it installed on a 64 bit system its bound by the 4 gig memory limit. You're running out of memory and the things to try and get around are:

Simplify your assembly

lower your render quality settings

render at a smaller resolution

Thanks I didn't know it was a 32 bit program. I am already trying to render at 800 x 240, lowest quality settings and with environment and floor turned off. Still have had no luck and I don't really want to go any smaller in regards to the resolution.

You could use PhotoView 360 2011. That is a native 64 bit app.

As Jonathan said, you could also use PhotoWorks.

Rob, is PV360 2011 supported for 32 bit?

Rob Rodríguez @ Greg Hynd on Nov 10, 2010 4:27 PM

Yes. There are both 32 and 64 bit versions. Just like SW.

Why not just use PhotoWorks in 64 bit?

Any chance I could get your 4 pts? Thanks

I solved my problem:

My model was quite intricate, a truck scale, two large complex conveyors, 48 hopper cones, and a truck with trailer in tow. The hopper cones were in four rows so by getting rid of the three rows that existed behind the first I managed to reduce the file size enough to render. Thanks for all the help and it is good to know that Photoview 360 2011 is 64 bit!

Is this true? I grabbed a model form content central to play with PV360. Have SW2011 SP 1.0 installed. Did some adjustments then launched Task manager to see what it would tell me.

Began rendering the model and the memory usage tapped out at 3.2GB just like the 32 bit version. I have 24GB of ram installed. All my processors were max'd at 100% but why the low number on the RAM?
