I’m a student working with Softimage, and I have a scene involving a spaceship shooting lasers at a fighter. I created the lasers with ICE, but I’m running into a memory usage error when trying to render the effects. I can go for only a few frames before the renderer stops trying to render the shots and changes to the big red error box.

I believe the problem is somewhere in the particle’s material, but I can’t say for sure, I’m still pretty new to ICE. I’m attaching a screen shot of the render tree since I can’t seem to attach a scn file. The tree is a slightly modified version of the setup used for the ICE_TrailSpiral example scene. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
