Brian, I have a 3 Mb A500, of which 512 K is chip-ram. I too think that this is a memory related problem but I really have no way of making that determination. One thing to note is that I took the group of objects which made up the left arm and joined them together. I saved this object and then rendered it. No problems here. Next I added the whole robot cop grouping and rendered the scene. The result: the left arm object rendered but the robot-cop grouping rendered as before with no arms, legs, visors, etc (does this make sense???). Also, I tried to JOIN the robot-cop grouping into one object and what I got was a whole mass of lines and points. There's definitely something weird goin on here that's for sure. Anyways, I believe that the limiting factor is the amount of chip-ram that is available, as someone else who has a 3-Mb amiga said that he had no problems rendering the robot-cop grouping (although he didn't say whether or not he had 1 Mb of Chip-ram). Oh well, I guess I'll just have to take the plunge and upgrade my fat agnus. I don't think warranty should be a hassle now that my warranty has long expired. -Trin comin' at ya from WHAP! – via Whap!
