Vray Scene Crashing while rendering

[luis.alcala86]

Hello everyone,

Here again for some knowledge. Currently trying to render a scene with Maya 2018.6 and vray 3.6. Issue I'm having is that the render gets to 95% and it crashes my Maya. Sometimes I get a crash log other times Maya quits completely, no log report no warning. I just rendered this scene yesterday and magically it wont work today.

Any knowledge or help on this would be greatly appreciated. I'm in a terrible deadline and have a delivery on Monday.

Try exporting as a vrscene and initiate the render from vray cmd prompt
vray -sceneFile="Path to vrscene file/scene.vrscene" -display=1 -

Stezza,

I'll give that a go and see what happens.

How did it go with the render?

Not sure what's going on. It gets to like 95% then crashes. Read through the crash log and not much to go off. I'm suspecting a troubled shader that's the culprit. Going to work and rendering there on my box. Hate working on Sundays hahaha. I'll post reply after tests run.

Well it rendered fine at work. I think it might have been a shader or plugin issue. I'm running maya 2018.5 at work with vray 3.60. I also run ticket01 stitch plugin for my footwear designs and I believe that's what the issue was. My computer at home has Maya 2018.6, same vray version, but an older version of stitch. Whenever I loaded the scene it would open, complain a bit about and unhandled exception and either crash or crash while rendering.

not sure what the main issue was but its rendering at work but not at home. Going to export model and reassign lighting and shading and see if it takes.

You guys thoughts, my build has a slight overclock at 4.8 ghz. Runs at that speed all the time. Could the overclock cause it to crash? I've rendered multiple scenes with those settings and haven't had an issue.

It's really hard to tie a crash to hardware issues, although it's not impossible for this to happen. If it's a software issue - having a reproducible case usually helps us determine if there's an issue and what it is.
If the scene crashes every time - just send it to us and we'll have a look.
