V-Ray Crashes vray.dll 1.5SP1

Hi,

I'm not sure if 1.5 is even supported anymore but with the last few builds back in June, it seems vray.dll quite unstable regardless of scene. Will there ever be a 1.5SP2 in the foreseeable future or is it better to just go back to 1.5SP1 official build and lose some of the nice fixes that were present in the later builds?

The crash is strange, V-Ray will just be rendering in Maya Render View and all of a sudden crashes. It happens on multiple different scenes so it is not scene specific and if it does happen on the same scene it'll crash on a different area of the render. I can't tie it to anything and happens when rendering and or generating the indirect light.

Any tips would be most appreciated!

Which particular build of V-Ray 1.5 is this? Have you tried a newer nightly build?

Best regards,
Vlado

Sorry Vlado for the late reply.

I was using the August 3rd bulid, I've gone back to Jun 8th build and it is stable. I think the 3rd of August builds had a few bugfixes but I'd rather the stability. Cheers.
