I'm running 3ds4 on a dell xps p90 with 32M RAM and 2gigs of storage space. Every time I try to render a single frame at Phong or Metal the process gets hung up about 3/4 through "building shadow raytracing maps". I've tried turning off all extranious lights but it doesn't help. I have no trouble rendering at gourand or render a single object at phong or metal. Any suggestions? Is it simply a matter of file size and RAM or is this a bug?
