Irradiance Map-Incremental Add to Current Map Crashing at end

[Peter Grealy]

Hi there,

I'm seem to have a bug in the system which is causing me a lot of grief (and stress with a pending deadline). I am pre-computing an irradiance map for an animation (every 15th frame of a 350 frame sequence) using the "Incremental Add to current map" mode. My machine computes the maps okay but when it gets to the very end (last bucket, last frame) the system crashes. This has happened about 10 times now, argghhh!. Does anyone have any suggestions how to debug?

Many thanks, Peter

Okay so I deleted the Maya pref folder, the workspace .mel file, I also deleted all Maya External reference files and re-imported them natively into the scene. Also removed a vray mesh light. Not sure which one these did the trick but seems to be working okay now. Meh......

Heh odd, but glad that it's working now.
