Render error

Anonymous — Tue, 30 Sep 2014 02:19:37 GMT

After a few seconds, render mode fails and outputs garbage. MacBook Pro. The background is black in Fusion.

Always the same effect, independent of model or Fusion version (since beta)

Product looks great in A360 though...

This is a video issue, obviously. If you don't mind I would like a little more information to help us optimize Fusion for all video environments.

What are your video card specs?

Are you running two monitors?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, the Intel HD 3000 graphics chip set is just not robust enough for rendering. Right now we are working towards graphics certification and it's looking like cards like this may not be supported. Typically for 3D graphics you would want 512 MB or greater GPU memory. The recommended card for Maya on Mac, for instance, is almost a full GB.

Things you can try:

Reduce the load on your graphics following these suggested settings:

Also, you could try reducing the window size of Fusion during rendering. Or consider getting a more modern and CAD capable graphics card.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Reduced screen size did the trick.
