Spherical Harmonics baking failed in nightly build 17400

[ultrasonic]

Hi guys,

vray just crashed while baking spherical harmonics...i just setup this very simple scene here (only spheres and a plane) - unfortunately the forum won't let me attach zip files at the moment...just 25KB...

OS is SnowLeopard running Maya 2012

did i do something wrong?

I was having problems with texturing baking as well. I wonder if the problems are tied in together.

[vlado]

Nope, they are unrelated. What problems were you having?

Best regards,

About my problem: Any idea in which build this bug may have slipped in? I would like to use the build before it got buggy...

Another question: Say i have lots of objects that are just moving very slightly (grass) ... can i bake SH into them and use the information for GI even if the move a little?

Would really like to test this, but don't know which build to use....and maybe it's just a macos problem...will have windows by this weekend...

cheerio

[vlado]

We are currently looking into it; I'll let you know if we find anything. It is not a problem if things move a little.

Best regards,
Vlado
