Hmm? Just tried that and I just get a silent crash (with an empty CrashOnExit file
) when I try to create too many objects.
Perhaps we need to see some code? Could you supply a short runnable program which gives the error?
What happens when you run this test code?
` simple program to test what happens with too many polygons
sync on : sync rate 0 : sync
make object sphere 1, 100, 80, 80 ` a high poly (c. 13K) sphere which we will copy multiple times
` display the source object and display the poly count
repeat
text 20, 20, "Number of polys in source object = "+str$(statistic(1))
center text screen width()/2, 50, "Press <spacekey> to continue"
sync
until spacekey()
` wait for spacekey to clear
while spacekey()
endwhile
cls
center text screen width()/2, 50, " Please wait - copying objects"
sync
` make some clones
numCopies = 2000 ` my laptop accepts 1000, but crashes silently with 4000
` and total poly count becomes unreliable before 3000
for obj = 2 to numCopies
clone object obj, 1
next obj
` display all objects and display the poly count
repeat
text 20, 20, "Number of polys using "+str$(numCopies)+" copies = "+str$(statistic(1))
sync
until spacekey()
end
Perhaps the "3D memory error" is triggered when you try to do something specific with the objects?
