Tx batch animation fatal error

[CGMas]

Hi,

I'm rendering scenes using tx bitmaps.
When batch rendering animations, I get a fatal error when vray starts to deal with the bitmaps for the second frame.
Every time it crashes at this step (the second frame).
There's the same kind of crash happening when the cache bitmap option is used (which is bad on a renderfarm I know).
If I switch all my bitmaps to jpg, it's ok.

Thanks in advance,

Max

Can you give me some more information? Which OS, which Maya version, and which V-Ray build? Are you rendering through backburner, deadline or just locally with Maya batch?

Best regards,
Vlado

Oops, I forgot, sorry...
I'm using vray 3 for maya 2015, a nightly of january on windows 7 64bit.
The render dispatch on the farm is done by an old Smedge version.
I think Smedge is basically behaving like a mayabatch.
I will try with the latest nightly as soon as I can.

Thanks
Max
