Vray 3 crashes often when trying to render to texture.

[jstrob]

I am trying to render to texture a vraydirt material. I use it in a standard mat as a self illumination map and 1 time out of 3 vray crash with an unhandled exception exiting max. I use vray 3 offical build.

Well now it crashes everytime! I can't bake to texture.

Hi,

Did you try to use the regular V-Ray material Self-illumination slot instead of the Standard one?
I'm not able to reproduce the crash with simple setup, so it will be very helpful if you can add a scene file to test with.
Thank you.

Ok sorry I found out why it was crashing. I could work around it and it rendered correctly finally. I will have to go back to my scene to remember what I did but now I can't all my computers are rendering in a rush.

It would be a good idea to send us the crashing-scene for investigation if it turns out bug.
Let us know if you already figured out what cause it.

[jstrob]

Ok yes thank you. I will try to do it as soon as I finish this contract.
