Too many open files : Mac

[philstopford]

I'm getting failures in DR that are related to 'too many open files'. This happens even after bumping the file limits upwards. I've filed a ticket, but wondered if others have seen this before.

It only seems to relate to images so far:

2016/Dec/31|09:52:52] warning: Bitmap file "/Volumes/Phil/Documents/modo/Scenes/Tree12/Textures/color.exr" failed to load: [detectImageTypeInternal] Failed to open file: 24 (Too many open files)

So how many image files do you have in the scene that's causing this error ? Any V-Ray proxys ?
And what is the limit set to in the OS ?
It is macOS Sierra, right ?

We have an environment variable to limit the number of simultaneously opened tiled EXR/TIFF files.
It's called VRAY_MAX_OPEN_FILES . You can set it to be equal to your OS limit minus some number of files that you feel will be enough for other parts of MODO / V-Ray.
