Hi, i have a file here and have to render 400 frames, every frame (2 doors closing, quite a heavy file) adds about 1 gig of ram, im at frame 19 now and the animation is at 17gigs, i have 32, im pretty sure i wont even make 400 before running into trouble, the scene started with about 1gig of ram,…what can i do to avoid this,…
ps, i have a tight deadline tomorrow so all help is appreciated,…
OK - I’m not getting the problem here. I rendered it with viewport (set to Rendered) and RhinoRender. Neither cause the memory to grow.
So there are two options that I can think of. Either you have an old version of Bongo - make sure you are at the latest service release. Or you have a plug-in that is installed and causing a memory leak.
I would start by disabling VRay from the plug-in manager and trying to render the animation with the viewport display without VRay loaded. If that works fine, then the problem is VRay (even if it is not the renderer) and you will need to get an update from Chaos Group.
If it’s still leaking memory with VRay disabled, disable every other plug-in that doesn’t come from McNeel and try again.
I just used the same (latest release) version of Bongo as you and I’m not seeing any memory issues. I have to assume that a 3rd party plug-in is causing the issue.
sorry for the trouble! Which version of Bongo are you using (1 or 2)? Could you please provide the data and a step by step description? I’m not that familiar with Bongo. You can use wetransfer (public ftp) for the transfer. Email adress would be rtr.plugin.support at autodesk dot com.
