Hey guys,
So I’m having a weird problem, maybe someone knows whats up. When I render, and the render reaches 100%, maya/vray hangs.
This is sort of normal, it usually happens for about a minute or two.
Right now though it is hanging for 20-30 minutes at the end of every single render, even small renders or partial renders.
In the task manager, I can see that maya is using 24GB of my ram. The usage slowly drops from 24GB to 5GB over that 20/30 minute period.
Once the usage hits some magical number close to 5GB, the hang ends, the render finishes, and I can use Maya again.
It’s driving me nuts. Even small test renders are doing this. Anyone have a solution?
A couple of things not sure if it matters:
Its not a super complicated scene but I did get a dynamic memory error early on, so I upped the available limit to 24GB, my system has 32.
I am layering displacement with a layered shader, which is the only thing new in the scene. I had to lower the edge width for the displacement to .2, so that’s why there is so much RAM usage.
I have tried upping the tree build quality and it doesn’t change anything.
I’m just rendering a single frame, its a still.
Suggestions are super appreciated, because I can’t continue with these 20 minute hangs per test render.
