Displacement Memory

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max General

Hi

We are trying to render a scene with displaced grass which occupies possibly a tenth of the view but it crashes due to lack of memory.

Before we upgraded to 1.5 there was no problem - does anyone know of a way to get round this ?

I vaguely remember that changing the Max Tree Depth, Min Leaf Size or Face/Level coef in the System dialogue might be the answer ?

thanks

You may try to set default geometry to Dynamic ? But it’s slower.

I have reduced the Max Tree Depth and it reduces the ram being used but do take alot longer to render.

If all else fails I will change to Dynamic.

There might be some info to pick up in this post

You can try to increase the Edge length for the displacement, if you use 3d displacement.
