I have seen some posts about this - most are about animation.
Having a new problem today - when the IRR map finishes and starts to auto-save Max crashes and the IRR map is lost.
If the IRR caluculation is stopped at any time before complete - it auto saves fine.
Using DR.
Ideas?
Haven’t tried yet with manual save. Also this wasn’t a problem until render image size was increased to 1200x1800 (or larger).
Turning off AutoSave fixed the problem.
I don’t think image size had anything to do with it - other than the IRR map had become so large (20+mb) that Max wasn’t waiting to save the file and would crash out.
So having this problem again - WITHOUT Autosave turned on.
But “Don’t render final image” is checked… Don’t know what I was doing before?
Right - so if it goes on to render final image = no crash.
i’ve been having some eratic problems with irradiance maps…too. i’ve have been network rendering a solution (too one machine), and some are coming back corrupted - i wonder if thats the cause…
are u rendering locally or to another machine?
