How to Render a Complex Scene without it Crashing
Optimize rendering your scene using this Blender Guru tip.
Andrew Price writes:I was skyping with a coworker (Rob) when he shared with me a technique for rendering complex scenes on almost any computer. It involves render layers – but using them to save you memory usage.
I was amazed at how useful it was, but also shocked at how I’d never heard of it.
So he’s written a walkthrough article to let others in on this little “secret” :) enjoy
Nice tips I found there!! Thank you, Robert (author) and Andrew (owner of the site), for share!!
Very useful reading. The Render Layers tab has always been a bit confusing, but the discussion below the tutorial has been very useful at clarifying what’s going on, re: what will reflect in what across render layers.
