Hi,
I've managed to create a scene that takes POV-Ray to the limit and beyond,
where memory is concerned.
After 9min of parsing, POV-ray tells me it is out of memory and can't continue.
And looking in the scene file where it stops it has hardly begun...
I have 256MB RAM and 640MB virtual memory allocated on Windows XP.
The scene I'm trying to render is a cloud using a density field (df3) and a
tree with several hundreds of leaves. I'm using a while loop to place these two
objects a number of times in different locations around the scene.
I'm wondering how I can render the scene without problems.
Would increasing the virtual memory help (say, 10x more)?
Please don't tell me I'll need to upgrade ;-)

If POV-Ray tells you this the OS is not able to provide POV-Ray more
memory. I'd try to reduce the scene as much as required to make the
scene render and see what amount of memory is reported in the Render
statistics. If that's more than you have as physical memory it would be
wise to forget about rendering the scene, if not your OS is probably
broken or misconfigured.

How about converting the tree to a mesh, meshes can be repeated for very
little memory cost. Can you replace the DF3 with simple media, that might
be less memory hungry ( worth experimenting anyway )

Mmmm. I'd have to look into that. Find out how to make a mess^H^H^H^Hmesh out
of the tree.

The way this cloud looks is sooo perfect, I doubt if it can be done by media.
BTW there are several pictures of this cloud and tree in P.B.I. thread: "New
Project"
Thanks for the suggestion.

are you sure the loop ever terminates? maybe it's just creating objects
forever and never reaching a "stop" condition.

I'm using two properly terminated #while loops. They are supposed to create a
total of 80 "islands" as shown in the thread in P.B.I.: "New Project".
