materials and memory
-
18 Jan 2007I just noticed that when I open the material editor my pagefile memory goes up by a shed load (75mb), bloody stuff doesnt come down when you shut it again though, also every time I move the animation slider back and forth or rotate the scene in any way it adds some more on aswell.
the only way I can get it to stop is to put a very basic material on the models.
I always knew my memory usage crept up the longer I worked on a scene untill eventually it would run out and crash, but it seems I cant have textures and complex geometry at the same time.
Why?

Jonathan 480 posts18 Jan 2007How much RAM do you have?
I have 2gb and haven't had this problem.
RAM is cheap, get some more if you can.

18 Jan 2007Hmm, I got 2gig aswell,
I have some pretty complex materials for the scene but I just dont understand why moving the time slider and animating, would add to the memory pagefile size.
just gonna have to work in shades of pink then I guess
