Preparing lights

[glorybound]

I have a scene that is crashing. I replaced the lights, reset V-Ray, but it will not render. IPR does nothing and bucket is crashing with this error.

marker is at C:\builder\cgrepo\vray\vrender\src\vrenderlight.cp p, line 643: Preparing lights (VraySun.hdri0037)

Same project and new error.
EXCEPTION: Preparing instances

I merged into a new scene, but still crashing.

Any ForestPro objects? This was crashing it for me even with the latest Beta from yesterday.

[glorybound]

Yes, many. I'll delete them and see if that changes things. New sun, camera, and still crash. I'll delete the forest items to see what happens. Thanks!

[glorybound]

Yep, that was it. I turned all my Forest items off and it rendered just fine. I upgraded to V-Ray Next and now FP doesn't work. The forum said that they'll come out with a final in a couple weeks, which just isn't good enough. I think a lot of FP and RC users will be surprised when all their scenes break. Hopefully, since we have a long weekend, it'll come out early next week. The funny thing is, it broke this morning before I downloaded and installed V-Ray Next, so why it stopped working when it was working with the beta, I don' know. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Multiscatter is working so I might rebuild my FP in multiscatter.

It looks like it's up on the site now: FP 6.0.8 support V-Ray Next final (v4.02.04).

[glorybound]

How funny, it just came out!

[glorybound]

Strange. New project and same crash, even with the latest FP beta. Is anyone using FP with V-Ray NEXT?

It took a few hours, but it wasn't Forest Pack, it was Laubwerk. Always something!
