I wrote a script to animate some geometry, and because of the complexity, I decided to have the script delete all geometry, create new geometry, render a single frame, then continue. It works fine for awhile, but it grows slower and slower and slower as the script runs. Any ideas on some techniques to clear memory, or thoughts on what the problem might be?
Here’s the script for reference:
Thanks!
add a garbage collect ( gc() ) to your script, this will clean up unused memory. you should probably put it after you deleted the geometry…
and increasing the max memory heap size might also help…
Adding gc() to my script seems to have done the trick! :bounce: Thanks, Cthulhu!
is ther another method for clearing up the memory in max? (aside from restarting max – which i currently do… hehe)
Basically, i just wanted to clear up all variables… (make them all undefined)
gc() doesnt do the job though…
reset doesnt do it either…
