FumeFx Crashing! Plz Help

#1

ok so i have 4 gigs of ram when am doing this sim it crashes after like 10 frames of simming… am not runnin out of ram… my only thought is that the sim files are gettin to big… there at around 50 megs a peice… but am not running out of harddrive space either. So am really confused on to why its crashing. Spacing is at .19 / Grid is 129x305x350. Any thoughts would be really appreciated.

What os are you on, and what version of max (32bit or 64bit)?

#3

Am on max 2010 and xp 32 bit. But i only get 3 gigs of ram… but still the sim says it will only use a gig and i had 2 gigs of free ram… so that wasnt the issue

You should switch to XP 64bit sp2 and x64bit of max. 32bit OS is only using 2gb of RAM per app and well reported in stability issues with fumeFX.

FYI, The ‘sim says’ what FumeFX is using not your scene total, if your scene has, for instance, a bunch of particles, that will consume ram at the same time, you should get a better ram usage estimate by checking the max process in the task manager.
