rendering con photoworks

[macro82]

Hello to all

I am trying for the first time using photoworks (sw2010) to make renderings. to start I used the mode of rendering wizard, to avoid combining damage. the problem that arises is that as I start rendering this interrupts and I get the following message: "The solidworks model is too big to make the rendering. for more information view the online guide... etc.

Some people suggested me increase the ram, but I have 1 gb and I think it should be enough to make a rendering of an object a few mm long and with very simple geometries. I'm afraid I touched anykosa in the settings that drove the program crazy, is there a way to get back to the initial settings?
or is there a way to make a rendering even of low quality but that my pc is able to carry out?
Please give me help I have to solve this problem and deliver this rendering in any day :36_1_4:
waiting for your answer I thank you in advance for the time you give me.

Marco greetings:

Have you tried from photoworks options to set the quality of rendering to a minimum?
However 1 only gb of ram is really little even for swx without opening pw, that of resources eats it to bizzeffe.

you can try with photoview that "maybe" is a little less exoso and at least works alone; close solidworks and that file upload it to photoview, keep there a moderate quality and maybe you can.

Thank you for the very quick answer :smile: :smile:

I tried to set all rendering options from default level to low level and actually managed to make the rendering! (obviously of very low quality, all ungrateful)
by this presumably you understand that you are right, the problem is the lack of ram:finger:

If you think I'm like this tomorrow, I'll go buy the ram, which I'll recommend? Is that the right thing to do?
I think I put 4 slots from 2 gb will be enough?

for completeness I tell you some other data of my pc:
- processor: intel repentum dual core 2140 @ 1.60 ghz
- video card: nvidia geforce 7600gs
- operating system: windows 7 64bit
- Software: solidworks 2010

thank you for the useful advice you will certainly give me,
greetings marco

p.s. photoview I can't use it, it doesn't work.

Hello, Marco.
the more ram is and the better it is. I would say that 2 gb totals are the minimum to work decently. then if you mount 2gbx4 slot you are riding. I also use 8 gb at work and I would say I do everything. You may have some limitations with the video card that is not a picture, but you can always change it from geforce to painting. you will not get supergalactic performance with the mod but activate all the advanced features of the video card and will allow you to work smoother. :finger:

Here, as I imagined the processor is certainly not a lightning of war, low frequency, fsb to 800 mhz and cache l2 of only 1 mb (and the cpu is the one that submerges all the work in rendering), and all the system is quite "data". the pure speed of the processor is fundamental to the cad, along with the graphics. only I know is recent.. and maybe too much for that hardware.
does not want to be a criticism for charity, only a statement to recognize the objective limits; You can't expect more than once.

on these bases I would advise you to go slowly with the purchase of components, it is no longer worth upgrading that pc by spending money, rather over time and the chances evaluate the replacement (if you think it can serve you in the near future).. but do not demoralize that maybe something you can do it for free:smile:
First of all, forget about the 8 gb jump, for your needs are exaggerated! I also doubt that the motherboard will support them, maximum will accept 4.
but I would start with 2 gb to see if things can improve (and it is not completely said given the context). also because for that pc you need "old" memories that you can no longer use if you decide to change system. Step one step at a time not to throw money.

Here, the motherboard: what brand/model is it? because those processors were easy to pull them over 2 ghz if the bios allowed it. There are many overclock guides on the net.
and the graphics card as well allows the soft mod in picture. I had it myself and hacked in fx560 egregiamente his duty with his honest 512mb of memory. follow these instructions in the letter:
http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=539&pgno=0(of course referring to your model) that it works and does not harm.
then configures and optimizes at best win7 that like all so (species microsoft :smile has many "orpelli" that slow the system; Also in this case on the net you find several guides.
These are the free things you can do. if everything succeeds you will see that only by doubling your current ram you will extend the life of your pc even of a year (it will depend on your needs).

thanks to all for the precious tips:finger:

then I will now put 2x2gb, then I will try to "pump" the video card and the processor according to your advice, even if I am not a magician, but with the guides I will find on the network I think I can do it! :smile:

the motherboard is of the asus, I will let you know Wednesday the model.
I will keep you updated on future developments... thanks:4406:

only with the ram you will see little (if not a minimum with files and heavy operations).
verify from the mobo the compatibility of the modules you will acquire.
Since you have the pc underhand starts immediately with the card, it takes a few minutes.
and below the cpu.

the motherboard is of asus

..then you should be able to do enough what you want about the oc

Okay, got it!

I put ram and set processor and video card according to your advice. today when I left the office disassembled the ram and took the kingstone data kvr667d2n5/1g. with these will surely give me the product compatible with my processor, motherboard etc...

thanks we feel in the next days:biggrin:

I allow myself to stick to this discussion and ask for an opinion... I have to realize a rather large set (both as size, as well as weight in mb, as well as as n° components), a building, and I have the same problem: "The model is too big and blah blah blah." Is there any tricks to be able to produce an acceptable render?

I was thinking of copying the axieme and eliminating all the details "not in sight" can serve?

because I'm afraid you touch me through another software and, over time loss, the export problem arises. . .

(for the record I am using a notebook hp with 4gb ram, 1gb ram dedicated video)

Hello, everyone!
This is my first post, I allow myself to advise you, if you have the possibility, a software for rendering really inuitive and effective. has the great advantage of directly importing parts/assiemi sources from solidworks.
the software in question is ..(cut). .
I find myself quite well, you can get excellent results in reasonable times.
here you can find some things done with that program and its predecessor...(cut)...
Greetings to everyone!

That's your first post.
it doesn't seem to me the maximum to present itself "sponsoring" commercial programs (we try to recommend free software, open source etc. etc.... otherwise they are capable all..) and linking their site to make personal advertising. is not the spirit of this forum nor the way to contribute fatly.
as a new user you should have read the regulation where these "regolettes" are explained and where a brief presentation is required.. that it is not immediately made of commercial propaganda.
Come on, be careful. .

Thank you for the attention and for the least commitment I'm sure you will put on.

greetings

will also be able all, it is in fact that the user has presented a problem and I have posted my specific experience that is very similar to his.
I found myself well with that program for the reasons I explained earlier and I felt to recommend it.
Moreover, a trial licensed version is provided with all the features of the final version, so there is no advertising that keeps, if the user feels to try, he will then decide whether that software does his or her case or not.
and then commercial propaganda..I just posted my works, which lookcaus all passed from solidworks to the rendering engine without having to make conversions.
if there is then some open source program that allows you to have the same productivity, well come! I'd be the first to leave that software and keep some money in my pocket!
