TIP When you render a very large image, you might get a message that says "Error Creating Bitmap," or that says you are out of RAM. If this happens, turn on the Bitmap Pager on page 7771 on the Rendering panel of the Preferences dialog. The Bitmap Pager prevents a rendering from stopping unexpectedly due to the lack of sufficient memory. On the other hand, it slows down the rendering process. NOTE 3ds Max does not append any color-space information to rendered output. If necessary, you can apply a color space such as sRGB to output images in an image-editing program like Adobe Photoshop. Environments and Rendering Effects A variety of special effects, such as film grain, depth of field, and lens simulations, are available as rendering effects. Another set of effects, such as fog, are provided as environment effects. Environment settings on page 6689 let you choose a background color or image, or choose an ambient color value for when you render without using radiosity. One category of environment settings is the exposure controls on page 6732, which adjust light levels for display on a monitor. Rendering effects on page 6583 provide a way for you to add blur or film grain to a rendering, or to adjust its color balance.
