When creating a render with a huge output size, leadwerks crashes

[siponen]

Video recorded on 0.9.9 stable build 2740. I did also test this on standalone dev build 2879 and got the same results.

 

When creating a render with a huge output size (100k x 100k as in the video example) leadwerks crashes with the message "Runtime Error: Buffer resize error (80000000000)" and this message seems to be the same every time.

Also tried with 50k x 50k output size. Leadwerks didn't crash, but it used all my memory and windows closed it for not responding.

 

This might be bad if people start to play with the render tool with unsaved progress, as this crashes the editor.

A fix for this would be setting a limit/clamping the output size to something reasonable, so it wouldn't crash or freeze.

That's not really a bug, just your computer running out of memory. A 100,000 x 100,000 RGBA image would require 37.25 Gigabytes of continguous memory.
