4 gb is the recommened amount. We have five. This is getting a little frustrating. Thank you for your help.

[Bax2996]

It's fine.
Yeah, you may have to try rendering on another computer. I know it is frustrating, but we've had the same problems for a long time.
Some computers are just not capable of rendering complicated scenes.

[240 Animation]

We would undoubtedly prefer to render on this computer, if only we could figure out what our issues specifically are.

[Bax2996]

Well, the problem seems to be the computer.
I'm sorry, I wish I could be of more help, but it really seems that you are going to have to render from a differant computer.

[240 Animation]

Alright, thank you for your patientce(... I forgot how to spell it).

[Bax2996]

^.^ It's all good.
(It's patience if that helps any XD don't worry I can never spell "experiance")

I know it's a bad renderer, but test that portion in the default scanline renderer. We ran into a complex particle scene a few years ago that was too much for Mental Ray. Or reduce your scene and render parts to see which object (if any) is causing the memory failure. Rendered elements with alpha channels can be recombined in post.

They give a few strategies for getting around it. Good luck.
