Thanks for providing such quick information but, excuse my ignorance, how do I change the maximum Video Memory form the BIOS settings ? I have no idea where to access it on my Mac. I'll look into the external graphics suggestion, sounds like a great idea. I didn't know one could do such a thing. Thanks Limey

Hi Carlosan these are my graphic card particulars.....I have a 2018 macmini running OS 10.14.3. The application worked very well before this particular incident. Intel UHD Graphics 630: Chipset Model: Intel UHD Graphics 630 Type: GPU Bus: Built-In VRAM (Dynamic, Max): 1536 MB Vendor: Intel Device ID: 0x3e9b Revision ID: 0x0000 Metal: Supported, feature set macOS GPUFamily2 v1 The texture was only experimental and I reduced it down to a more reasonable size when I realized I had accidentally created one that was too large that caused the initial crash. I have not had an opportunity to use the resized one since the application stopped working. Would resetting the VRAM be a good idea ? Thanks Limey

Up until this afternoon 3DCoat has been working just fine. However, I accidentally attempted to import a texture that was way too large for 3DCoat to deal with.Almost immediately up popped a window that said there was insufficient memory and the application crashed. There seems to be more than enough memory on my Macmini OS 10.14.3 available to run it. I have 31 GB available on my drive. Alas from that point on 3DCoat would not complete startup. I have attached info from my activity monitor. So......I eventually ditched the corrupted file, uninstalled the program and downloaded the latest version. I thought this would clear out any existing problem but even a newly installed version just crashes within a few minutes every time I try to start it.The memory warning does not even show up any more. If memory is still an issue, and due to my ignorance I am not sure how to deal with it, how do I increase it ? Is there a way to designate more memory to just this program or do I have to reduce the number of files on my hard drive and make even more GBs available ? Any help to resolve this issue would be appreciated as I need to texture my model urgently. Thanks Limey
