That V-Ray standalone has crashed.
Can you tell us what have you done to make it crash?

[Fredrik Averpil]

We actually had this just recently (2.40.01). It seemed to happen because there was a UV Chooser node attached to some geometry which were pointing to a UV map that did not exist.

Fredrik Averpil: do you have a scene we can use to reproduce the problem?

[Fredrik Averpil]

I simplified the scene down to the supposedly errorous parts: segfault.zip
No textures are needed. Render this with DR enabled in V-Ray 2.40.01 in Maya 2014.

When I do this here some DR slaves get the segmentation fault - but not all of them. It seems it's more prone to crash on Linux than on Windows, but it seems a little random.

Thank you for the scene. We were able to reproduce the issue and we will try to fix it.

[Fredrik Averpil]

I know you will!

hi,
did anything come to light on the segmentation error ? I'm currently having a similar issue rendering a scene with DR, it starts off ok in that the render slave starts up but then gets a segmentation error and exits . ( the render on the main machine continues , but the slave does not contribute to the render)

I think the original issue was fixed. However yours may be something else - if you can get us a reproducible case, it will be very very helpful.

Best regards,
Vlado
