fg map limitation?

fg map limitation?

hello ladies and gentlemen.

something that's been bothering me for a while is now coming back at me,
maybe someone can help.

a longer scene - approx. 500 frames. all FG.

usually I calculate scenes like that twice.
first with bad antialiasing settings to generate the fg map, than full
aa with frozen fg map.

works like a charme in shorter scenes.

now, if I'm doing longer scenes everytime I reach approx. 270mb of fg
map size, the render crashes and I can't go on.
it won't render any further and it won't take the so far generated map
for further rendering.

only solution up to now was splitting the scenes up in smaller parts,
rendering with overlaps and doing a fade between them.

this I could live with, having to do one or two scenes like that.
but now I have a lot of longer scenes coming on and I wonder if there's
another workaround this, cause setting up all this scenes, different
names etc. would be pain in the you know where.

thx,

FLINX
