Bercon Gradient and VrayLight Texture Slot = Crash

[Mokiki]

I'm currently crashing max/vray whenever I try to render with a bercon gradient map inside the vraylight texture slot. I'm simply trying to make use of the "random function" within that map to get some color variation in my light instances. When I hit render with the map active vray hangs at "preparing lights" and shortly after ends with max crashing.

Using Max 2015 Vray 3.10.03 and Bercon Maps 3.04

Cheers,
Oliver

Where can the latest Bercon plugin be found?

Aren't the newest ones hosted on the vray site now? I thought Chaos was maintaining them, and keeping them compatible with Vray.

As far as I know its basically the same. At least vlado's recompile is mentioned in the change log.

Hello,

Random by object won't work with lights - there is no object available when calculating the lights color and this causes the crash. The same happens with the scanline renderer and spot lights if there is a a Bercon gradient map as a projector map. A way to avoid the crash is to disable the Obj. option in the random section of the gradient map.

I've also uploaded a patch (patch) that fixes the crash..

Yavor (please for give the double post),

At your link I see a directory full of .cpp, .sln and .h files.

I do not know code. How can I get these into a .dlt file for use with 3dsMax 15 or 16?
