Thanks for the pointer; I thought we always set the exit code on error for batch mode, but I’ll check again.

Hi Vlado,
got same exact error many times with random scenes no way to reproduce. They only way to fix this is going to a previous version of the scene or create a fresh one a re-import things.
I know you have been asked this 1000 times but when an big update is coming for Vray2 Maya ?

Thanks,
Alex.

Me ,again I hope this is heplful these are the main 3 areas that we got lots for problems:

1- Fatal errors like the one posted.
2- Vray RT CPU , we don use GPU crashes constantly on any production scene, its almost impossible to work with it at all which is a huge disadvantage,
3 - Vray FBV disappears again randomly.

This is a result of using Vrat v2.004 with latest Maya 2012 on several brand new Win7 24cores 24GB machines with Quadro 4000.
Thanks,
Alex.

Can you check this again with the latest nightly builds? If you don’t have access to the nightlies, you can email us to vraymaya@chaosgroup.com It would also be very helpful if you can get us a crashing scene.

Best regards,
Vlado
