While rendering a scene that contains lots of photons, I'm getting the
following error message:
"Slab Building Error: Out of memory. Cannot allocate 327680 bytes for
photons."

Is 327680 bytes the maximum amount of memory for photon data? If so, should
I decrease the photon spacing value?

Regards.

No, the message says "Out of memory" and then reports how much more was wanted
when the error was encountered but not available.

Thanks.
