Closing RT render window whilst in isolation mode causes max to crash

[3DMK]

Is it not recommended to use RT in isolation mode????

When I try to close the RT render window in isolation mode max hangs/crashes

Kind regards

Hmmm...seems Ok here in a couple of quick tests. I don't see anything in the RT Unsupported Features section...

Perhaps something in that particular file...

yeah...i think it was in that file as i just tried it again in another scene & it worked fine.....thanks for testing it!

HOLD ON!! there is a problem & I think I have figured it out.

RT WILL crash if you try to close the render window whilst RT is in the scene preparation stage. I have been able to reproduce this in 3 different scenes so it seems to be a bug of sorts.

I am using 9 render servers with RT & it takes a while for all machines to load up the scene data & if I try to close the render window whilst the machines are loading/preparing stuff it simply crashes.

Any ideas Vlado..??

I think I've seen that, actually. I just figured it was something that you shouldn't do...HA!

Thanks for the pointer, will look at this - should not be too hard to correct it.

Hi Vlado,
Just wondering if you've done a fix on this bug yet?? As it's really starting to bug me [Pardon for the pun..lol]
It is really starting to slow me down......just when I found that using RT was starting to speed up my work flow.

Kind regards
