Problems rendering

[Tyler Olds]

Hey its me again a few questions......

When I go to render my rough draft of my animation with out the playing field it runs just fine. But when I import the playing field (roughly 300 polygons) and render it the program stops responding. What strandge is that i have an object that has over 2000 polygons and it works just fine.
If anybody has some advice please help!!!!!!!
Also I just put in a GeforceDDR and it still doesnt render!!!!!!

Thanks

okay system specs? you running windows ME? if you are go but win2k NOW!

could be your ram, as in not having enough.. but more probably, somthing is wrong with your surfaces on the feild, perhaps

[Tyler Olds]

Oh i forgot to mention is that the field and the goal were both made on inventor. When I remove these two It renders just fine. So is anybody else havin problems with inventor to 3ds max conversion? Please let me know how I could help/solve these problems.

Assuming you have Inventor 5, open MAX and go to the "configure paths" dialogue from the customize menu, tab to the plugins options, and add a path to your Inventor installiation. There's your import plugin. Beware what file types you try to import from, too, since some of those tend to lock up MAX.
