Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Render memory error
OS: Windows XP Pro.
OK, I have a high poly model I have made and I am unable to render the entire poly with a simple plane background and two lights. If I hide most elements and only try to render a fraction, there is no problem. However, as I start adding back in hidden elements the render stops midway and I receive the following message:
// Error: Free memory is low. Memory exception thrown
I have been very careful to delete history and remove atavististic nodes from the hypergraph editor. The model is very clean, though when it's viewed in the hardware screen with every element showing, the tumble is choppy, so I know it eats up a lot of memory. For the most part I keep the "hands" layer hidden to free up the hardware memory which allows the tumble to work in real time nice and smooth. The poly is in subdiv.
. Is the above error describing a limitation of my computer, or is this something I can correct somehow. I would obviously like to have a high quality render with raytrace shadows of my entire model. Isd there a solution I could try to investigate?
Thank you.
Tristan

There are 15,991 polys in the scene, but far more subdiv elements of which I must confess I don't know how to locate a count of the faces.
I suppose I could go back and convert them all to polys, but it just seems to me there are just too much in my scene for my 2GB RAM
There are two lights: a spot and a point light.
