Hey Guys, just a quick query,

Cheers

a few million thats for sure ...... but the new build will do as many as you like..

i have a scene with 4.4 million faces and i am having quite few problems with it crashing.

Any thoughts on how to stop it crashing?

[natty]

increase your page file ......
and bye more memory .... 4 million is a damn lot... good luck

using the new version with a combination of vray proxies and using xref im working on a scene with approximately 20 million polys and it renders nicely. no slow downs due to ram issues.

Natty, I am running a dual 2.4 amd with 2 gig of ram, you would think this would be sufficient to render a scene like this!

Bring on version 1.1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[natty]

tell me .... is it sufficient to move around the scene ?
im running a dual Xeon machine with £2000 graphics card and 4 gig of ram and i think it would still struggle..... (work pc)
yeah Bring on 1.1 in full affect

Tests with the new Vray

As you can see it's possible to render 3 Billion Faces...
I wanna see the person that uses this polycount in Production
With the n Version we rendered 5,5mio uninstanced Poly's.
(No instance Feature used in System!) but we had to use the /3GB switch

Without instancing the geometry I ma gotten close to 7 million

With instancing, I am gotten well into the billions... like 4 billion

With the new vray proxy, the same may be true....

Hi

Are these figures for a production scene ie (loads of textures varied,opacity and reflections and refraction with lots of objects) or are they just purely polygons and a few textures? I would be interested in finding out am currently working on an outdoor scene which comes up to just over 7million polygons and it would save a lot of fiddling and hassle if it could be rendered in one pass
