I have a MacBook Pro 2020 with the apple Silicon M1, and whenever I render a 3D model it gets stuck at around 75% (looks like it) and just loads for hours and doesn't continue. I let it render for 2 hours and it didn't move one bit. I've never had any problems with rendering like Premiere Pro or other apps. Any way I can fix it?
Thanks, Josh
8 GB of RAM is not enough for this.
Your color settings would be in Edit > Color settings. But in this case I would assume the lack of RAM is your issue. You can try and Reboot the computer, don't run any other apps than Illustrator and then render.

How much RAM do you have installed and how large is the model?
How is your color management set up?

Hi Monika, hope you are doing great.
I have the same issue but my computer has 16GB ram, it's a M1 PRO 2021 14inch
could you please help me find a solution?
I have deleted and downloaded the app 3 times already and it's still the same. I don't understand because I just did one 3D model and it was working fine.

So you are getting an error with 3D effects?
Can you please show the object and tell us how complex and how large it is?

I'm having the same problem. I'm not sure if it's my computer's RAM; I'm not sure what all of that means if I'm honest. For mine it says "Memory: 32 GB 2267 MHz DDR4." Would that be enough or is there possibly something else that is preventing me from rendering in Illustator?

Hello @Dejah30800218f33y,
We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. Are you using Illustrator on Windows? If yes, kindly try performing a clean reinstallation of the GPU drivers (Intel / NVIDIA / AMD) and setting the Graphics Preference to High-Performance for Illustrator (https://adobe.ly/3yzzCHm) and checking if it helps.
Also, try running Illustrator under a different administrator account (Windows / macOS) and share your observations.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
Anubhav
