Houdini crashes, if edits are made in the component builder

[bumba]

Hi,
if I use the component builder and I am trying to make edtis in a shader (vray shader, principal shader, does not matter), while running the vray viewport renderer, houdini crashes.
if I do not use the compoent builder it works as expected ... I can interactivly change the shader (and lights and stuff )

I can work around it easily, by doing the lookdev outside of the component builder setup. Cheers Christian

Dear bumba, hello.

Excuse us for the delayed response!
Please download and install our V-Ray 6 release build from here.
It is fixed, I have just tested it.

Best regards,
TS

Hi Tsvetomira,
Thx. I am still on Vray 5. Are the fixes also transfered to the older vray version or do I need to upgrade as soon as possible?
(Is Vray 6 prioritized over Vray 5?)
I am using the nightlies, I am in production right now and I have a few months ahead of me.
THX in advance and cheers.

The Houdini scene translator is exactly the same in V-Ray 5 and V-Ray 6 builds, only the V-Ray core is different (and the newer features exposed in 6.x of course).
So you could use 5.x nightly / stable-nightly build.
