question about loading Irrmap in Multiframe incremental (+)

[ayama]

Hello!

My computers in renderfarm have 1Gb of RAM.
I've made some animation. It was 1790 frames (1min15sec) long.

I used multiframe incremental for each 5-th frame, saving Irrmap in Low quality. So file was 300Mbytes.

When i started final rendering (getting Irrmap from file) i noticed, that there was long pause (30 sec. approx) before first frame started to render.
And main - use of memory increased so much!!! About 300Mbytes.

Does Irrmap completely loads into memory?
I thought that it loads per-frame.
Can i render animation, if Irrmap will be 2Gb for example?

Thank you in advance

The whole Irrmap file has to be loaded to do a render using the saved irrmap

Dynedain,

thanks for answer!

And one more question.
How can i split huge irrmap to parts?
Maybe with Irmapviewer? Or i can only merge Irrmaps with it?

I know, i can render parts by different computers, or with one computer
but smaller parts.
But then there can be flickering in frames when irrmap files changes to other as know...
