Clicking "Enable GI" in 6.1 crashes 3dsmax

As title says, when I try to click “Enable GI” it instantly crashes 3dsmax. New scene, old scene, doesn’t matter.

Via script it works, so i guess it’s a QT UI issue?

It probably is. We are looking into it at the moment and will try to resolve it ASAP.

Any chance you have a maxstart preset? Looks like it’s crashing only when you have the old “Expert” mode set for this rollout, which is not available in the latest versions.

Yes we have a startup script that sets up Vray too. I’ll try modifying it to see if it works

renderers.current.gi_ui_view should be 0 (default) or 1 (advanced)

I can confirm that was indeed the problem. Thank you, it’s solved :slight_smile:

We’ll fix it on our side as well, thanks for the report!

Could you try with today’s stable nightly build (Chaos) - it should have a fix for the crashes with GI controls and you wouldn’t need to do anything with MAXScript.
