Twilight Render Doesn't Work

Post by caydenwilson017 » Fri Mar 29, 2019 11:15 pm

I'm trying everything to get Twilight Render to work in my model. It is fairly large, but I have used layers to make it easier to handle. The software still says, "Building Environment," gets to about 1-2%, and then shuts off. Afterwards, a message appears saying the render may not have run. What is wrong? What can I do? This is an example of what I am working on in the project, where the software works. I tried another room and it has failed. In addition, I will note I am using easy 10, Interior+ Progressive Render.

Interior is usually the most responsive and capable of handling large models. It may be (and is most likely) that you are running out of RAM. How much RAM do you have? Do you have large textures? That's the most common culprit when running out of memory.

What operating system are you on?

Thank you so much. Yes, I just cleared my PC and have 700 GB RAM left, along with having a Windows 10 operating system. My textures are about 1,500x1,500 pixels, at maximum. I tried using layers and turning them on and off, but it still isn't working. However, my software does work because if I select smaller components it renders just fine.

Standard machines have 4Gb, RAM and a good machine has 8Gb of RAM. A great machine has 16 or 32 Gb of RAM.

Please post the specifications of your machine by going to Window's "About" info page and post a screenshot like attached.
Also post screenshot of Task Manager (press Shift+CTRL+ESC) while trying to render like attached image.
