I am having memory crashes when rendering with mental ray in maya 8 that i did not have in maya 7. I have a file that I can render fine in maya 7 mental ray but will crash in maya 8 mental ray. The memory limit has the same settings in both and I am using the same machine. Any help on this is much appreciated. thanks

do you have raytracing on?
maybe play around with your bsp settings...

Well Im trying to find out why it will render fine in maya 7 and will not render in maya 8 with the same settings.

dont assume that they will be the same settings

open the render settings in Maya 7 and save the seetiings in the preset section
load that in Maya 8 and try

Ok that did not work but here is some extra info. I can render fine using a stand alone version of mental ray 3.5. I just cannot render in the render view within maya.
