Missing bitmap = SU Crash

[40th]

I had SU crushing for a sudden. After little investigation, I found that the reason was one deleted (texture) image.
I wish V-Ray for SU could show a error message with description of the problem, and a filename which failed to be found.
Or maybe a simpler solution would be if VfSU skips this bitmap when renders.
This issue Especially bad for those who don't know of ASGvis temp folder.

Hope ASGvis team will address this issue in the next release.

You're going to have to give much more info about what happened and try to repeat the crash. I get scenes all the time that don't have the images associated with them and they never crash. If you look in the progress window it will actually tell you if a given file was loaded or not. That's not the best feedback, but it is something.

I was messing around with this and I did get a crash, but I've been having trouble getting a set of repeatable steps to create the crash. At least on my end, this seams to be relating to VfSU creating temp images when it doesn't have any images to begin with, then trying to read in these "empty" images. However, I can't get some repeatable steps to verify this.

I couldn't, there's not enough time. SU crashes almost immediately.
Also i noticed in the temp file after the crash, the missing image's file name was there but couldn't be read (like vfsu tried to create a file but failed).
I'm using VfSU 1.5 (sorry that I left that out).

I managed to repeate that crash :/
and then keep on repeating it for 3 days :/

somehow i changed the name of one texture in material
i recived a crash and some testures were left by SU in temp
every time when i deleted them SU crashed
if i left them everything worked fine exept that certain texture (material renderd only diffuse color)

I was totaly sure it was a RAM problem because model is quite big (1,2m poly)
the worst was that it didn't create any log with an error !!!
3 days lost :/

Hi Juri,
Reapplying the bitmaps solves this
