memory allocation problem in instanced scene

[2kemon]

Hi guys

I think I need a little help here.
I'm making a test for instancing objects, but I keep getting the same error (Error: IndigoDriverExcep: Memory allocation failure.)

I've never seen this error on either my desktop or laptop. I thought it might be a problem, that I had dummies inside dummies, but that wasn't it.

I woul really appreciate some help, and I posted the skippy and here's the indigo log:

Hi 2kemon!
First questions: to place your dummies did you use some sort of plugin?
Cos with some rb sometimes I had the same problem..

[2kemon]

hi pibuz
No plugins used. I just copied and rotated. I did scale a few of the dummies, but that shouldn't be a problem should it?

You haven´t tried rendering the scene on your rig, by any chance? I'm just wondering if it's somekind of configuration on my system. I'm using a small application for freeing memory, but I've tried with it both on and off.

Hi guys... what bugs me from the log 2kemon is that the render threads are terminating wich is unusual for memory allocation errors if I am correct (?). I think I've never seen Indigo stopping the render threads friendly before throwing an error (? again).

The frame buffer is allocated, no rendering limit was announced as reached in order to stop the render... I'll let you investigate on this one, I have no clues and it looks tricky... Hopefully the problem will stop after you change something in your scene (I can't load it against an older SK version but would not be able to use it really anyway) !?

It could be that the memory freeing application would not be safe with Indigo (well I'm supposing), did you try to reboot your system with the tool deactivated at startup before rendering (no auto-launch) ?

Good luck !

[2kemon]

thanks for brainstorming with me guys. I'm still puzzled why it didn't work, but I made new components and dummy component for about the 10th time and now it works. Apparently it wasn't related to the memory app.

[Pibuz]

Bof, glad you solved!
