Hello again!

I am constantly getting insufficient memory errors when trying to bake my AO maps with MR, 3ds max 9. I have 1.5g ram.

Does max utilize a paging file I could tweak for this problem? Any other suggestions?

What I have been doing is going back into Zbrush and down res'ing my Hi_Poly, stepping it back and exporting to lessen the load, but I usually have to bring it to like 100k or less poly's and then it seems to bake, ok, sometimes not at all though depending.

any help here would be appreciated. Id love to be able to AO bake the full res HiPoly's.

PS never had a problem with the Default scanline render for normal maps.

bah.
