Render to texture crashes at 2048?

Silva_Spoon

Im trying to transfer textures to a low poly character from several highpoly assets. Im using max's render to texture but for some reason max crashes if I try to transfer them at 2048. Anyone have any suggestions?

Is it a crash or does it just freeze up? I've had the render take so long sometimes that I was almost certain Max had locked up. In the end, it was just that slow.

lol no its a crash. It must be a lack of memory or ram cause I tried it on my buddy next to me's computer and its rendering out now.

SuperOstrich

Yeah, I was gonna suggest that if it's a crash it might be low memory. Ask for more.

You may also be running out of HDD space.

I've done 2048s with max on several occasions... So its likely a problem with your system.

How much memory do you have, and what is your hard drive like with regards to speed and space?
