Memory Issues

[Brent_The_Brutal]

I am doing a orc course via udemy, by victory3d and I am having an issue where just sitting idle is eating up tons of memory, and crashes when I try to do anything it will most of the time crash, even something as simple as selecting a object in the uv unwrapping box.

I am almost done with the character, just needs the uv maps organized and working on baking the normal maps of the body so I can texture paint. I’m so close and don’t wanna abandon this when I am so close to the end

Anyone got any advice?

Add more memory?

Try lowering the multires a notch.

I would guess it is just overloading the computer capacity.
Someone else might know more about the computer stuff.

You have already a high res model. So using multires- or subdivision modifiers will explode memory usage.

One face divided, will create 4 faces,
4 faces divided, will create 64 faces …

I have 32 gb of memory, and the multi res is at 0

I do have a high res model, but this is my retopo model. And I’ve been following a course and I’ve been fine so far. It’s only after recently that’s its been crazy

Viewport only is at zero.

If things have changed then perhaps try opening a new file and appending in the models you need. That usually fixes any odd glitch that may be the result of accidental key presses having done some unknown thing.
