i was only trying to render 7 million vertex’s and 2.6 million faces

well thats only about half the value i want to render but it was a WIP render without everything put in yet.

is it not possible to render that many???

There is the general belief that Blender cannnot handle more than 1 million vertices in real meshes.

I have rendered up to 3 millins vertices created via SUbSurfs, with a model with less than 1million vertices. But this required around 750 megs of my 1Gb ram.

How many RAM have you?

Stefano

P.S. DON’T TELL MICROSOFT!

i have 1Gb of ram

i am using dupliverts (does that count??)

damn 1 million is piss all ARGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH

Alltaken

Yes it counts!

If you have a 100,000 vertices on which you dup of a 100 vertex object you have 100,100 true vetices, but at rendering time you will have 10,000,000 vertices!

Stefano

The biggest problem you are having seems to be Windows, because it wants to send a problem report to MICROSOFT (who made Blender) and they are sorry for the inconvenience!

Isn’t it obvious from the text in the error message that it’s MICROSOFT’S problem, as THEY made blender? :wink:

Oh, and what kind of scene are you doing that has 14 million vertices?

sounds like a lego scene :smiley:
I had the same problem.

nope its not a lego scene, it is infact a top secret scene for the exodus project LOL

its a city if you really want to know, but X-W will kick my arse if i leek images (although i’d love to)

Alltaken

see if you can split it up into a background, middle, forground, etc and compose them in the sequence editor with alpha or the zcompose plugin or something like that

you’re in on that exodus thing too huh…

well there are only about 4 people currently active and yes i am one of them.

there was once a huge team of people but its been reduced slowly to only a few

Alltaken

aha, I read that today in another post.
Sorry to hear that your team dried up this way.
From the beginning on I’m very anxious as to what the results will be.

Wish you succes with the work ahead and i hope you guys finnish it soon :slight_smile:

Ps. were those screenshots supersecret too?, they seem to be replaced by red crosses…

nope my stupid webhost which i pay too much for had a server go down for a while.

Hm i’m gonna go check out with them why it went down.
