Sigh… I have been doing a temple scene for a while, the blender file size is 150 megs. When I go to render it with the 5 layers it crashes! OH NO!
What… Do I do?
it probably has too many vertice for the renderer to handle. If I remember correctly, the limit is 2 millions or something like that.

If this is the case, you can get around it by rendering your scene with a few pieces/layers? at a time, using a format with alpha (like TGA) and then compositing the rendered layers over the top of each other in an external image/video editor, or using Blender’s sequence editor.
Try economizing your meshes. Do you really need all that detail throughout the entire scnene?
