Re: Memory problems with photons

8 million photons is a bit on the high side IMHO. What is your lighting setup like? I'd probably only emit caustics from one tightly targeted spotlight. Doing so should allow you to emit fewer caustic photons.

Also, what's your caustic settings? Perhaps your settings can be adjusted to provide sharper caustics as well, ex: If you're not using the cone filter you should be as that will give sharper results than the default box filter.
