bug- error when rendering but second time sometimes work

[inbalto]

Hello,
I have encountered a bug in a few un-related files:
the render doesn't work on the first time, there's an error reffering me to the log but when I render again, sometimes with a bit of camera shift it does work.

Sometimes it will just crash.
I tried to render parts: I copy-paste every single object in my model ( it's a heavy model: 30 mb) to another file and there it does work. but all the object together seem to cause a problem.

I haven't assign any any v-ray textures yet and used every debugging tool there is and purged the model.

the error log said:

(to ensure this process goes as quickly as possible, please be sure all references to external texture files are correct prior to rendering)

I would love any help- I can't seem to make it work

btw- all the su textures are in English, I found that when written in Hebrew it doesn't show them and causes a bug.

Re: bug- error when rendering but second time sometimes work

does the scene render if you enable "override materials" in the Global Switches section of your render options? If it does, then the issue is either with materials or textures. We have fixed a few of these types of issues in our latest beta if you would like to try it out, just head over here to sign up: http://forum.asgvis.com/index.php?topic=7679.0
