- In the Camera panel, there is an option called 'Segment Memory'. It defaults
- to 2.2 megabytes of RAM. I you make this number smaller it will grab a
- smaller chuck of RAM to render with (but increase the render time). You
- really should get more RAM though (8mb of fast is the recommened minimum for
- Lightwave).
-
- BTW, to render a full NTSC video screen in one segment you need 8.8mb of RAM.
