Hey, I have a serious problem with certain scenes. Everytime I want to render, the light cache starts calculating, stops after about half a second, freezes for a moment and the max crashes with no visible reason. I have 3ds Max 2015 SP2 and V-Ray 2.50.01 installed. When I save the file as Max201…

No, I’m not sure right away - can you send us the scene to support@chaosgroup.com so that we can investigate? Best regards, Vlado

Unfortunately, 3ds max stop working and I have to kill it manually :frowning:

I just need the scene… or this happens on any scene? Best regards, Vlado

I don’t know that problem of Jiri Matys, but concerning my initial problem: I guess I cannot send you the scene right now because it contains sensitive data from a customer.

Ok; after the crash, do you get the 3ds Max CER dialog? Best regards, Vlado

Hi again. Attached is the offending bit of geometry in the scene. It will render in scanline and Mental Ray, but will crash Vray. Mental Ray complains about bad face normals, but it will render it. As you will see in the file there is a Pro-boolean applied which is causing the problem. This is …

Hi, Thank you for the scene file, the issue was reproduced and added to our bug tracker. When we have a fix for it, we will update the topic.
