Hi All,

I’m running out of memory when i’m trying to build using the GPU. I’m looking into upgrading but for now does anyone have any tips on how to save GPU memory? Is it possible to share the memory between two GPU’s on different machines using swarm?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Is it possible to render of different parts of the model? For instance could i build the bedroom furniture and living room furniture separately or does it have to render the whole scene?

It has to load the entire scene because it’s difficult to tell what things would be effecting the lighting of another. And no, you can’t combine GPU memory.

You would need to reduce lightmap resolutions, texture resolutions, and polygon count to improve the amount of memory it uses.
