Has anybody used RPC before?

gmaranan@prarchitects.com · October 10th, 2006

I'm a new RPC user and my system keeps on crashing on me when I tried to render with RPC landscape trees and stuff. Any advise? Thanks.

lots of rpc crashes.... so how many rpc are you using and whats your system config ?

I seem to have the same problem with my RPC people. When I use them, either my system crashes or the renders times go through the roof. Along the same lines as gmaranan. Is this normal?

it's not really "normal" to have crashes with rpcs...... having "issues" with them is common though. they can play funky games sometimes, but if you have enough memory in your system for how many you are using.... you should be fine.

I would contact ArchVision support and they will be able to help you work through any crashes you are having.

My system is pentium 4 3.2, 2 Gig memory

now that should not be crashing with a 2 gb memory

I use them everyday at work and sometimes up to 1000 of them and never have an issue.
Not sure if it will make a difference or not but we have a server for libary files and rpcs so it frees up the render boxes juice.
Every so often i will get a rpc a bit bright or the something along those lines but not very often

Jeff is right, contact Archvision, it is some of the best support I have encountered..

I live in the UK, and within an hour of posting a problem, I have had a phone call from someone at their technical dept..
