It's the % of Total Memory you should be looking at (See my Screenshot), not % of CPU usage, together with the iClone Kb usage (See my Screenshot) & the number of Running Processes.

From my Screenshot, you'll see that my Total Memory usage is 37% with 44 Running Processes.

I have 6GB RAM.  iClone is taking-up approximately 1GB of that. So I have plenty of spare RAM capacity.

I have a 64Bit OS, & since iClone will access upto 4GB RAM with a 64Bit OS, I could in theory Import a number od additional Objects into my Project.

If you have a 32Bit OS, iClone will access upto 2GB RAM. If I Opened my Project in iClone 32Bit Version, I would still have 1GB spare RAM.

If iClone is stating that you have insufficient RAM, you could end some non-essential Running Processes, to Free-up additional RAM. There's a Free Download Program; Enditall, that will automatically do that for you (But you would use it at your own risk). I don't have it, because I don't need it, with the System in my signature. Those with a marginal System, do.(IMO, your System is marginal, especially the CPU & amount of RAM, which "Could" be the cause of your problem).

The above is a brief description of the processes involved.

I'm afraid I can't give you  precise instructions re; hoew to Fix your particular Problem. Reallusion's Forum Rep; Peter Edwards might. Send him a PM, referring your Thread.

Good luck :)

Anyone-else?

hmm how come every time I import a mesh with a tree the tree doesn't make it (it looks like a green mist) so I have to remove it from 3dxchange. Is there perhaps some trick I could do to have those trees?

is 2 sided checked in materials?
also look at the opacity map or if it uses a png
I found converting dds to png with transparancy rather dodgey using irfanview
a seperate alpha/opacity map works better.

I use DDS converter 2 for converting .dds to .jpg.

But do you also get sometimes meshes bent? Like the Leaning Tower of Pisa?


I usually try to re-strech it in x,y,z scale and sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't.
