black pixels in SSS vray 2.0 beta

[tinuz]

Hi,

I'm getting black pixels in my SSS element, see quicktime:

any ideas?

[vlado]

Can you get me a scene where we can reproduce this to vlado@chaosgroup.com so that we can fix it?

Best regards,
Vlado

This kind of errors, the black spots in SSS, or like white NAN (not a number) pixels in Mental Ray, could be caused by Memory Errors?. I mean, be caused for Non Ecc (Error Correction Codes) Memories that doesn't check if the memory storage has failed and request the info again?.

Well, Vlado can reproduce this so then it would be quite a coincidence? :P

It would be very unlikely that a memory error would cause this.

Humm, I see. The truth is that should be a little bit dissapointing be working really hard day after day and find this kind of stuff. Another hole in the code, another research into the code, searching the exception, the case that remains hidden.

Maybe a range out of 32 bit images pixel valor?... you've a limiter for that.. not a clue..

As always, the hope is that if you find it, other errors derived from this will solve consecuently. Mood!, step by step.
