After lurking in the background for a year, studying various modeling programs, I finally purchased 3D studio. I love the program except it seems to hang when rendering certain objects. (such as the coil in tutorial 11) I can render smaller portions of it. I haven't let the program sit for more than an hour yet. My question is: Is the program hung or just taking a long time to render? It stops about halfway through "transforming objects". It's running on a Pentium 90 with (shame on me) 8 megs of RAM. My guess is it's running out of RAM. Will it still render or just lock. I'm not familiar with exactly how 3DS uses it's RAM. It's much faster than ray tracing when it works.
