Maxed out on memory
I’ve been fighting with 2GB of RAM getting this scene to render. I’ve figured out that I had a lot of rubbish running in the background and I can render at the moment but it feels like this laptop is on borrowed time.
My laptop is on a pair of cooling fans too. I’ve not noticed any difference when using max.
Heading towards 5% sky, at least at this angle. I’m trying to add interesting bits to the scene to. It seems to be working. I’ve quite impressed myself. This is 5-6 hours work from the previous stage to this. Thats having ignored the three hours of work this morning where the central building was built using using Extrude and Bevel and I ended up with the top of the building with inverted Normals !! How I have no idea! but I was watching time go by with frustration so I deleted it and approached the build in separate layers rather than as one whole poly.
