Lightwave Memory Segments
Posted: Sat Sep 05, 2020 9:19 am
Hi,
I've been getting a little stuck using LW5 on real hardware using the memory segment feature, resulting in crashes. Because I have plenty of RAM on both systems, I thought I would increase this to help with render times.
However, this seems to result in unstable but repeatable behaviour. Certain values work, others do not. I dug up an old tutorial that suggested decreasing by half a meg each time, until you found a stable number. Is this correct? It seems sort of crazy!
Cheers,
Ant
