Vray 1.5 proxies - instant crash

[yosi]

Hi everyone, I'm having this weird problem, out of no visible reason some models I either create or download will cause instant crash when writing them as proxy mesh, while some work like charm. It doens't matter whether it is a 40 000 poly model or a 250k model, whether it has multiple materials set or different layers, it just happens to some while other models are without problem - you write a proxy mesh, click ok and Rhino crashes without giving any reason.... does anyone experience this weirdness? could it be bad geometry? thanks...

here's an example what gives me crash - http://www.flyingarchitecture.com/coffee-chair/

I also experienced that few times. My impression is that it happens when the scene itself is very heavy! I think this crash depends more on the scene than the geometry you want to write as proxy

thanks for reply, I thought that too for a while, so I tried exporting it in separate scene with nothing but the model, but it still happens....

well, with the version from July 17 I am now unable to write even those that used to work with version jun 18....am I really the only person on the planet who gets crash in 2/3 of attempts?

I experience serious problems with Writing Vray proxy. Already submit the bug with file attached on case 8085: Crash on Proxy write

The worst is that after crash, the rhino file changes and goes heavy when reopened. I have no anymore control over my work. My file consist of 30 identical basic extrudes.It was 2mb and reached 10mb for unknown reason!!! The moment I erased the assigned material stored in material slot the file size turned back to 2mb.

I have no bad geometry, no duplicates/ overlapping, just one single layer and 36 basic extrudes. Also tried to convert the nurbs into mesh and proxy after, but result is the same: CRASH

I hope somebody will read this, analyze and fix it. And I look forward to get new normally working build soon

thank you

Hi Kostenurka
Thank you for the bug report. I'll look at it and see what I find.

Thanks
