hello alli hope someone could help me.i am working on a job using 6.02 in which i have a "word" modeled (20,356 triangles-simple model), it has hair total hairs 25000 not much hair . and the word has a simple multi-tiered rig with rotation and deformations to make it jump around. the word as been extracted into 3 parts ( 2 letters each-each with hair) weighed with deformation for secondary animation.now for some reason the process in the windows task manager states that xsi is using more then 1.3 gigs of mem usage, just to have the file open. no interaction at all. just having it sit there. when i try to render to jumps to 1.5 gigs and crashes stating that mental ray has a problem and will no longer work and that i must restart xsi for mental ray to work again. i put everything in passes, but still has a hard time. i have also exported the rig and model to a fresh scene, merging scenes, freezing everything i could. still no go. any help would be greatly appreciated thankshe!
