Max8RC2 to Max9RC3 crash problem

[KruL]

hi all !
here's today's head case: a max 8+RC2 file renders fine but once I try to migrate to Max 9 + RC3 ( still waiting for the 1.5 dongle ! ) the file doesn't render at all, it crashes during LC and presampling calculation.. is there anyone who's been face with this problem? I'm in a fix!

thanks

What if you disable the displacement?

It renders fine ! (but I need my grass&bushes&walls to be displaced)
thanks,

What file format are you using for displacement?
I found out, that if I'm using psd and choose to use only
one layer from it, it will crash Max.

I'm already using Vray 1.5 64bit Final

Hello Julien,

It would be best if you can try this with V-Ray 1.5 final; otherwise you can email me to vlado@chaosgroup.com for some of the newer RC versions, which will probably solve your issues.

@Lars: is this with any .psd file or one file in particular? It does not sound like a V-Ray problem, but I would like to check it out just in case.

Best regards,
Vlado

You are doing 2D or 3D displacement ?
if you do 3D try 2D

@Vlado

Sorry, I don't have time to test it right now.
It was just normal psd from Total Textures pack with 3 layers.
Diffuse, bumb and displacement.
I was able to use that same psd in diffuse and bumb slot.
When selecting displace layer to use with vray displacemod,
Max crashed to desktop.

Hi guys !

Thanks for your answers...
I use .jpg for displacement maps, 2D displace only

@ vlado : I would love to try with 1.5 final, unfortunately I'm still waiting for the dongle... Zori has sent a mail with link to newer RC versions, I'll try that.

thanks
