VB crashing when trying to show material preview

[afecelis]

Hi everyone,

Vray for Blender quits as soon as I select a mesh with a material that has a bitmap, I suppose when it tries to build the material preview. If I'm working on any other tab (render/lights/world/etc) the program doesn't crash. If I select a mesh with a simple material, like just diffuse color, the material preview loads OK and blender doesn't crash, it only happens with bitmaps.

Anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to fix it or a new build?

regards,

Alvaro

afecelis Can you please upload a simple scene that reproduces the problem?

[afecelis]

Yes, of course. Please download this file ( textures by cgbookcase.com)

simply select the wall and go to the material tab, or as soon as you open the file hit F12 to render. Blender-Vray will crash as soon as you try any of them.

I'm using standalone V36002

Ps. I forgot to mention, this only occurs when I load previously-created scenes that rendered fine in 3.5. If I create everything from scratch material preview/render works as expected.

Thank you for the scene. This should be fixed from next nightly build.

Great news! thanks a lot for replying. I shall ask support for access to the standalone nightlies.

afecelis the fix is in the Blender code so you will need access to Blender For V-Ray nightly builds.

Thank you poseidon. I was a tad confused, I thought the error was on the standalone side.

It's working fine now on 20170721 build.

Please set this topic as [SOLVED]
