Unhandled Exception: Preparing camera sampler

Vlado,

are you still looking for that plugin because I have it on my machine.

I can email it to you if you need it.

Ok, this is getting strange...

I'm trying to clean up that material to resend the file and I'm getting multiple fast exits when opening the material editor. This is even after resetting the material editor slots and freeing bitmaps from memory with MaxScript. Could this have something to do with licensing?

Nope, but I was getting the same thing too. In my case, 3dsmax bugged out even loading the scene, and the crash seemed to be related to the missing .dlt file. Even if it did manage to load the scene, it would crash in the material editor later on. In one very rare case I was able to open the scene, remove the missing .dlt and save the scene. On reload that seemed to have fixed everything.

Best regards,
Vlado

Wheew,

that was close! Let's reload the guns and go on before another of those beasts climbs up that hole. The bug hunt continues ...

Woohoo, yes that seems to be the problem, I think it's rendering fine now!!! Man I thought I was going crazy.

Vlado,
Thanks so much for your time and what a coincidence that the plugin you didn't have turned out to be the culprit
