crashing with old models

[kinetic2]

When I use an old model that was done using flamingo and swap the rendered to v-ray to do a render, Rhino crashes every time, any ideas to why this is happening.
On another matter I brought up in another posting to do with the texture editor, has the problem been fixed to read BMP files? if not can we expect this to be fixed any time soon as I don?t want to have to convert over 800 BMP textures into PNG files?

... I can not direct help you, but ... converting of images can be done per batch convert of the free image browser Xnview. I think, you will get much free space at your hard disk.

MarkO,

Could you email the scene to support@asgvis.com or drop it in our ftp folder at ftp://asgvis.com/incoming/ .

Best regards,

Hi Corey,
I have dragged and dropped the file from my desk top into the browser window of the incoming address you gave, along with a crash dump file. Is this all I have to do.
This room set is large and unfinished, I have had to continue to use flamingo because of the crashing that happens when I try to use V-Ray hopefully it?s just something that I am doing wrong.
Best Regards
Mark

I'll take a look at that file today and let you know if I come up with anything. Thanks

[edit]
Its Brick Room.zip right?

Ok - should this crash while rendering? Is that when it crashes? Or do you mean it crashes when you switch renderers? Also - is this scene in the exact same form as it is on your machine when it crashes? I'm going to keep playing around with it a bit more.

Alrighty - when I ran it under RC3 it crashed when I started rendering. But our latest development build doesn't. So email me and I can take care of this for you.

What problem is there with BMPs? JPGs had an issue that has been resolved, but I wasn't aware of a BMP problem
