EDIT: Oops...forgot the Pub...I never forget the pub

Ok....I keep running out of memory and I have put this off long enough.
Can someone download this and check it out....Am I just modeling incorrectly....IS it a setting or two.... My computer shows NO faces or OBJECTS in the dialog box and it takes forever to render..well not really like 8 or 9 minutes at 720*486....but I am using like almost 1500megs of memory and then I get serious errors and debug errors. Should I replace the trees.....something...anything.... lol...thanx all

Eric

Downloading now Eric, will have a look at it shortly

Ok after initial looks (opening the file and checking polycount)
You have over 3million polys!!!
That alone may be whats killing it.
<edit> ok your front gates are 1/2 a million polys each
I would suggest try and fix the gates.. maybe an optimize would do the trick or use opacity mapping. Would look basically just as good.

Still looking...

Ok you had your clr.thres at 0.2 this will KILL your render times. Move it back to 0.35 and your render will be possible 4x quicker

still looking....

You also need to change your lightcache setup. If you have it on flythrought mode you need to use world mapping type not screen to get an even LC, this is rather important

And 500 subdivs is no where near enough as that 500 is spread through out the animation .. you would need a few thousand atleast

hmmm maybe you didnt have it on flythrough.. maybe it was load from map.. ahh well if you use flythrough.. read the above

[DaForce]

Ok try all of the above and see how you go.
I tried to render but it crashed on my even with less than 1gb of memory but i think thats because i dont have RPC installed and its just being dumb.. lol.

See how you go

<edit>
Ok with no gates, and RPC (all deleted) and obviously no textures the scene renders in about 2 mins.
Thats with calcing the IR and LC (not in flythrough)
