Always crashing...

[Scrat]

Hi there! I've made an interior and I am trying to make an image...

I have 44 spotlights, 3 point lights and a spot light outside with no intensity, just to shoot photons inside my scene...

As soon as I duplicate a table with 8 chairs and try to render it, it crashes... I have tried to render it without FG-GI, I changed my BSP settings, I tried to reduce memory but still I can't render the scene... I changed the geometry of the table-chair and still nothing...

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks!

hey, try to merge the scene in new one or make a model that contains the entire scene and import this model in a new one.

I don't know how I made it but I get this warning also...


Any ideas? And when you say merge it on a new scene you mean without materials etc? Or if I turn the scene into model it will keep materials lights etc?

[Adrian Lazar]

it will import all the materials in both situation and also the passes and render settings in case you merge the scenes...
about that warning i don't know but you should have raytraceing on if you use gi/fg

Is the table an chairs a file imported from another software package or pre-made model pack?

The table is an obj file taken from an older project. The chair is made inside XSI.
I merged the scene into a new file... Some things got better... I am still working on it....
