Jozef,
Perhaps the reason it worked alright today was
because you had quit Carrara and relaunched it.
Sometimes memory becomes filled with the levels
of undo you have set in Preferences but if you
quit the program just before you do the rendering,
the memory is nice and clean when you relaunch it.
I'm not an expert in memory usage, but I don't
think the backdrop and background are memory
intensive unless you are rendering things like
ice cubes where reflections and refractions may
generate a lot of data. Maybe the reflections on
your bombers generated it, but I doubt it.
I think it's GI related. If you have no refraction in
the scene, uncheck that box in the Render Room
along with any other things you can get along
without. If your bombers have no transparency,
uncheck that for sure.
If all else fails, and you have cockpits on your
bombers that require transparency, plan to
render the scene twice -- save your whole scene
then save it two more times. Use one of those
scenes to render the bomber bodies with the
cockpits in opaque flat black. Render the other
one with the most objects made invisible except
for the objects that show up in the cockpits.
The sandwich the two images in Photoshop or
Paint Shop Pro. Masking like this can be very
handy in Carrara.
