Interactive render hanging when orbiting

[dwellingworks]

I'm finding that the interactive render frequently hangs when you orbit or pan the model. By "hang", I mean that all rendering and ability to interact with either V-Ray UI or Sketchup stops, you get the spinning "beach ball" cursor, and it remains hung no longer how long you wait. The only thing you can do is force-Quit and relaunch the application, often with loss of recent changes to the file since it was last saved.

The hang seems to happen if you do the orbit/pan early on in the render process (perhaps light cache or even earlier stage than that). It seems to happen most often if you have a file with a lot of materials & large textures.

This is with up-to-date Sketchup and V-Ray, running on M1 Macbook with 16GB ram.

Hi dwellingworks,

We will try to reproduce the issue on our side and get back to you.
Does it happen for you only when rendering a specific project?

Hi Konstantin,
It does not seem to be project specific. It seems to happen a lot more when using the viewport render mode, but I have also had it happen with interactive render in the VFB.
