My scene worked fine and then suddenly I keep getting this error:

Memory problem2

I’m confused because I have other Blend files for other projects that have 3 times the geometry and it works fine. I tried copying and pasting everything into another Blend file. That seemed to work, but only briefly and I was back to the same problem. Then it said at one point:

OUT OF MEMORY.

So I looked online and changed a lot of my textures from 4K to 2K.

Some specs: I have two TRX 2080’s. I’m using Blender 3.3.0. My scene has 800,000 faces. My Blend file is 117MB.

What should I do??

thank you!

“Out of Memory” gives a clear direction to move in: reduce the memory requirements of the scene.

It’s sort of like being at the store in the checkout line, and being told your items cost more money than you have. You have to put some items back.

If you turn on the status bar in the interface, it will give you an idea of what sort of demands your scene is putting on the system.
