Cannot use 3D > inflate feature in AI. Not enough RAM when I have 32GB and no other open apps???

[yo_big_momma]

As shown in the picture above, I am trying to apply the "inflate" effect to a group, but I get that error message. As you can see, I am not using my RAM's full potential, however Illustrator seems to think I am. I am running Windows 11 Personal, with 32GB of RAM and over 300GB of free memory on all of my drives (two native, one external). Please help T_T

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

How large is that artwork?

Are you sure there are no duplicate paths? Tiny objects? leftovers? The artwork doesn't look very clean anchorpoint-wise

Hii! I set the document size to 2048x2048 but idk if it's actually applying that when it's 3d. I've managed to export it when in b&w, and for some reason it's exporting as 8539x8539. Also, i went to path > simplify on the artwork so it's as clean as i can get it from an imported png image trace.

WHen you scale that artwork smaller - does it than work?

Can you also check the layers panel if there are no duplicates or otherwise unnecessary objects?
