Render crash on irradiance map prepass.

[psychoo]

Hi!

I have a problem rendering my scene if there's anything other in the scene then the simulator. If I put any object under water, so refraction comes into play, the irradiance map pass crashes with an "unhandled exception error".

I use vray version 3.20.03
Phoenix nightly build 26171
Windows 64 bit with 3dsmax 2016 64bit.

Any suggestions what might cause the problem?

can you attach a scene for max 2014?

Hi! Thanks for your reply.

Here goes the scene.

[psychoo]

If I create any object that is behind the foam, it crashes. Normally the ocean bed is there, but that is not included in this scene. But you can just create a sphere and it already crashes it.

thanks for the scene and the detailed description of the problem conditions, hopefully tomorrow we will fix it.

Hi,
any progress on this one?

[Ivaylo Katev]

no at all. the scene does nothing, ther is no movement, no foam is born, nothing to render. can you send us a cache file that produces the crash?
