Hi all...

I'm modifying my previous "temple" scene... This time I'm putting the statue
in front of a large reflecting pool.... When I turn on Photons, It runs out
of memory creating the photon maps.  I have 256 Meg Ram and 2Gb swap setup
(win 2K... i know I know)..

Is there a way to trim the amount of ram needed for the photon calculations?
I'm using the default settings from POV-Ray with spacing at 0.01.

Any suggestions?  (except "get more ram" ;) )

- Chris
