/sighs Question...

Poser is acting all stupid with me.

I can't seem to render anything with it on its highest setting. It keeps telling me it can't find something about the texture. Then it tells me I low on virtual memory? And system resources.

I have a 2 yr old computer. With 512 ram and 2.6 ghz processor. I am not sure what I can do... I have like 20% of my hard drive available and free ass well.

Any suggestions?

Honestly, you're just not gonna get a high setting render with those specs. Most of us are running at least a gig ram and my processer is 2.8ghz. Depending on how much you have in a scene, if you have shadows on, raytracing on for reflections, anything like that, and basically yer fucked. I fight time and time again with mine to get really good settings. I'm to the point where I plan on getting a new machine and the only thing that's going to be installed on it will be my 3d progs and everything else can stay on here. I have an 80 gig hard drive and a 120gig external. The external is slowly filling with all the zips I keep of poser stuff, my pictures folder which needs desperately to be burned to cd soon, and anything else that I don't need on my machine. And my main hard drive is damn near full atm :( 30 gig runtime doesn't help, but neither does all the other programs I have on here and a few games and such. So believe me, I feel for ya :(

Tru dat ^ - I have 1.5 gig but only 1.8 ghz and I can't render anything with a detailed background until I upgrade. =/ Going to have to render them separately more than likely.

i have dual core 3.4ghz and 1gb ram... i can render just about anything i try to render, it just takes a long time.

thats why you render in layers, background, figure, shadows only. overlay them in photoshop ( save them all as psd and extract by using alpha layer selection )

I've been eyeing this program from Poseworks : Glowworm

Might make a difference for you. I know I only have 1.5 gb of ram and somewhere around a 1.8 or 2.0 prcessor so I have to render in layers now.. but honestly I like to, for compositing and to add effects and such easier.

Interesting, if you get it, let us know how it handles.
