Default Re: Black Artifacts when using Final Gather Map

Hi Fabio,

As Justin has said, anything that reduces memory usage
at render times is going to be helpful here.

A couple of things that aren't in his list that may be worth checking,

1- Are you rendering to an optimal resolution? I have seen some guys
calculate billboard render resolutions by using a 300 dpi setting, which
is waaayyy overkill for something of that size.

2- What are your current AA settings? Again high numbers will chew
up your available memory.

Regards
Bri
