Crash when rendering deformed particles

[spacematt]

Hello all,

in 2.40.01, Maya 2014 Ext SP2, OSX 10.9.2...

Create an nParticle
Add a deformer (e.g. sine or lattice).
Set the deformed nParticle type to sphere so it will render.
Render to renderview.
Crash.

Is it just me? Any workaround?

Yep, here's one...

// Warning: Unsupported texture kParticleSamplerInfo //
// Error: There was a fatal error updating the scene at time 62.000000 for V-Ray //

This one happens in maya /win/vray 3.0

Hello,

We managed to reproduce the issue and it is already in our bug tracking system. We will inform you when it is fixed.

Thank you,

I'm getting the same error when using the particleSamplerInfo to color instances.
No crash, just renders objects black.
Opening an old scene that uses the same technique still works without error.
Using Vray 3.3 in Maya.
