Animator image size limitations
Animator image size limitations
(OP)
I've been working on some animations that would loop on a display at a trade show, so I'm trying to make them as large as possible, with no regards to file size. However, I've found that once I get to certain size (a width of between 2000 and 2500 pixels at screen ratio) it all goes to hell. I'm on SW 2007 SP 2.0 and my graphics card is nvidia Quadro FX 3450/4000 SDI. My driver is 6.14.10.9185
(released 3/19/07) and SolidWorks lists 6.14.10.7756 (dated 7/10/06). Frames per second doesn't seem to make a difference. Any similar experiences, or suggestions, besides rolling back the driver?

Within the Task Manager, I go to the Processes tab and then select View > Select Columns. The one to add is VM Size. This can tell you how much RAM you're consuming (although I would think Mem Usage would do that)--anyway, the two columns often differ substantially.
When I had this problem last fall, I'd see the RAM begin to spike when I started the rendered animation. Soon after it would hit something like 1.3 - 1.4GB of RAM and crash. So this might not be a RAM issue, but something else--depending on the specifics of what you're seeing.
