Material returned overbright or invalid colour - HELP !!

[leehumphries]

I have a scene that just kept crashing while rendering that had the error listed above.

This morning i have re-modelled the whole thing from fresh.. Nothing crazy,just Box's for walls,floor and window..

Using 2 materials

VRAY mat- Glass Diff-black / ref-250 refr-250

VRAY mat - RGB 200

The error keeps appearing saying Line 002 / Line 018 / Line 003 these are just box's for walls.

Can anyone help figure out what is going on, or could this be a bug in Beta 3 ??

I can't say right away where is the issue; can you get me the scene to vlado@chaosgroup.com so that I can debug it?

Best regards,

Vlado ive found the problem item..

Its when i turn on Spherical Full Dome with a HDRI sky map. Should this happen?

[vlado]

No, it should not... but I'm not sure where the problem is coming from. If you can get me the scene, it will still be very helpful.

Best regards,

change HDR to 16/8 bit see if that helps... HDR map cause a lot of issues in my renders ;s

Been getting this error a lot lately too. Didn't connect it with the the HDRI images, but I have also been having a lot of oddness with those.

Yep, it might the same HDRI brightness issue...
