Out of memory saving obj (64gb ram)

[pr1970]

Hi

I`m trying to export a 61m triangle obj file but keep getting this. I have 64gb ram and 3d coat is only using 15gb. Using 4.9.57 GL. Thanks

Hello 

Are you using latest version ?

Try File > Export Selected

I had the same problem arise every so often. It is rare but it has happen to me too.

You could try saving the file to a different location on your hard drive. Close 3DC, Reopen 3DC, load the file and see if it works. Worth a try.

Hi,
Just tried the latest best 4.9.59 exporting an obj to another drive as suggested by digman, but still the same error with export scene , it works with some selected objects upto about 30m triangles, but when i tried selecting a few more objects at 45m then it would crash.

thanks

Sorry for not making myself clear. Save the 3DC scene to a different drive or location which you might have done already

There is another way still to test.

Right Click on the objects layer volume and choose "Save Volume as 3B" This will save the 61 million object as a new 3DC file.

Load that 3DC file and see if exporting is completed.

If your object has sub-tree layers then choose (Save Volume w/ Sub Tree as 3B)

Thanks but still the same, exported the 3b to another drive. Imported it in. Exported select and also tried scene as obj. out of memory error.

Hi,
Actually, just use the standard human model that comes with 3d coat and increase the density a few times up to 50m+ and it crashes saving to obj.

Hey, is there an update on this? I'm trying out 3D coat with a basic built in model multi-res'ed to 190 mil polys and it's running out of memory on export... I've got 128GB ram and it's stopping at 40GB.
