importing assets into render layer freezes Maya

[seandunderdale]

Using Maya 2023.3 and latest Cosmos update on Vray 6. When I try to import a tree when on a render layer, it freezes Maya. I have to kill the app and start again.

hmmm...I restarted my machine, and tried again in a fresh scene, and it works fine. Must be something about my shot thats causing the cosmos assets to freeze Maya.

Hey seandunderdale,

Very strange. May I ask you to send me the Cosmos Browser log so I can check if there's something that might point out what the problem was? Send it to me as a Private message (logs may contain sensitive data). The log file can be located from the three dot menu –> About in the Cosmos Browser.

Thanks!

What Ive found is having textures showing in this heavy-ish scene was causing my problems. If I set the viewport to shader lambert grey shader, the freezing goes away.

Hmmm This is freezing for me as well in Maya 2023. Turning off textures in the viewport worked for me but as soon as I turn them on it freezes. I don't see a fix for this.

I get the same freeze if I try to import a shader from the library browser with textures showing in viewport....and even when I work around that, by adding a shader with basic lambert scene shader visible, when I then switch to visible textures, (once the shader is imported) it crashes the scene. Very unstable lately on my end.
