laptop with core i3 processor, 4 gb ram ang 512mb vram hypermemory @ 2gb po yung video card ko.. i hope matulungan nyo po ako to prevent crashing.... tnx in advanced sir...

there are lot of factors kung bakit nagka-crash ang computer:

1. graphics cards/display - try to switch from 3 graphic display ( software, opengl , direct 3d). it is found on Customize Menu --> Preferences -->> Viewport -->> Graphics Display

2. Memory / Ram Issue - but as i see your computer is well enough
3. The materials are too heavy - there are some materials that might have large subdivs, lowering them might help. Try to activate also your bitmap Pager and adjust the amount.

The Bitmap Pager can prevent memory errors when rendering scenes that have very large textures, a large number of textures, or when rendering high-resolution images. The settings used by the Bitmap Pager determine how 3ds Max pages image files to disk during rendering in order to conserve memory.

To enable the Bitmap Pager



( the amount above is just a sample on where it was locate)

1. In 3ds Max, click Customize menu > Preferences.
2. On the Rendering tab of the Preference Settings dialog box, set the following parameters shown in the following image:

Parameters:

* On - When selected, the Bitmap Pager is enabled and the software creates a series of temporary page files on the drive, which are used when rendering.
* Page Size (KB) - Sets the size of the bitmap page file. If textures are smaller than this page size, the system allocates only the memory required.
* Bitmap Size Threshold (KB) - Sets the minimum size (in kilobytes) that a bitmap must be in order to be paged.
* Memory Pool (KB) - Controls the amount of memory used by the pager. All pages remain in memory until this limit is reached. When the limit is reached, the pager begins saving pages to disk. Pages that are not frequently used are paged out. More frequently used pages are kept in memory.

4. When the polys are too big ( example: 3d trees), moving it around the scene is quite very hard. Try to view them as a box.
Right click on the object -->> Object Properties -->> View as Box

5. Optimize your scene, use LOD ( Level of Details )

The main purpose of this utility is to save time in rendering complex objects and in manipulating objects in the viewports. Since a portion of rendering speed is directly related to the number of faces that must be rendered in a scene, using the Level Of Detail utility lets you reduce the number of rendered faces as an object reduces its apparent size. In addition, you can use this utility to display a simple stand-in for a more complex object in the viewports. Since the stack is not calculated for objects hidden in the viewports, you can speed up viewport manipulation by using this utility to substitute complex stack objects with simple stand-ins.

6. Use Proxies - Converting some objects in the scene to Vray Proxies will help you a lot in saving render times. When there are lots of similar object in the scene, convert one to Vraymesh then use proxy. When duplicating them ( the proxied object) use intance.

7. Render Setups - some setups in your rendering parameters are too high, recheck them and make some try outs render. Browse the site, learn and studies some of their available setups. Settings are are scene dependent, copying them may gives good or bad renders. But it will help a lot in settings up your own. So still make some try out first.
