3ds Max Error
Hello everyone. While modeling I will occasionally run into an error saying "3Ds Max has run out of memory". It will attempt to make a back up of the file I was working on and will proceed to crash. When I reboot 3Ds Max it will load fine, however when I try to load my previously saved file or the back up another error… -
Re: 3ds Max Error
Not sure why you got the error in the first place, or why your files are corrupted, but you could try to recover the contents of your old file(s) by importing them into a new one. Create a new file, then go to the main menu > Import > Merge, and find your old stuff. -
Re: 3ds Max Error
By default, Windows manages the pagefile size automatically. Most of the time this will work, but not always. If you want to check on your pagefile, I can give you instructions for Win 7 -- older or newer versions will use slightly different methods. I'm going to generalize some of this so that people from the future with… -
Re: 3ds Max Error
I don't think you are hitting your 8GB ram-limit roof here because of your modelling .So i doubt swapfile usage will be the reason, it would be more a symptom then. BTW: using the swapfile/pagefile is not a 3ds Max thing or decision: any (windows) software will use the swap space because the OS simply decides wether there… -

I am running the 2013 version. I have over 300 gigs of free space on my hard drive so I don't think it would be doing anything like that. I really… -
Re: 3ds Max Error
You could use a bit more ram, Win7 is a bit of a ram hog. But you might be running out of hardrive space. Max uses an old technique that treats sections of the hardrive kind of like ram. Which is one reason why max runs a lot faster on SSD drives, the read/write speed on old platter drives really bottle necks things. I… -

Re: 3ds Max Error
If this is the case, Max probably uses pagefile.sys as it's swap file. Not to be confused with swapfile.sys, which is used for Windows based (and I believe only WinRT based) applications as a swap file. Though the file size for pagefile.sys is usually pretty high to begin with, it may be if you're using a laptop or…
