Hilbert in RC2 craches

[Lupaz]

In RC2, when rendering high resolution images (4000px) using Hilbert and a small bucket size (16 or so) Max crashes.

Do a search for vrimg

tnx Rerender.
I know about the vrimg and memory related crashes, which by the way there's a lot of'em. I just wanted Vlado to know about this Hilbert thing. It appears to be a bug much more than a memory issue (or a combination of both).
No matter what scene I am working on, when rendering at 4000px with hilbert and a backet of 16, it crashes.

yeah thats interesting. Hilbert was supposed to be more memory efficient then other bucker rendering types?

Actually, the default "triangulation" mode is the most memory efficient one.

There is a bug in the Hilbert sequence that will cause it to crash for high resolution images (it is generated recursively and a stack overflow occurs). It is a known issue and will eventually be fixed. Other sequence types do not have this problem. So it would be best to avoid the Hilbert sequence for the time being.

Best regards,

oops, i was mistaking the hilbert for the default.
