Hello everyone, So I'm working away here and, well, to put it bluntly, I have no friggin' memory! Actually I have 16megs, but I'm getting upto 32000kb worth of page faults, and have a good ten meg swap file happenin. And all this after only one rendering. Needless to say, the file is big (upwords of 25000 faces). So the question I have is, short of doubling memory, what are your tips and tricks to saving space? When in the keyframer, should I hide all objects not in frame from the TRACKSinfo box? Will that save time? I just rendered an image, fairly uncomplex with a few objects in camera range, at hi quality: 13 minutes. Now understand, I'm not complaining. I'm the guy with the high ambitions. But I would love to third this down, at least now in testing… And I'm starting to think about final rendering. WHAT AM I GETTING MYSELF INTO!! James ('Listen to that hard drive fault!') Tichenor
