Hi,

after updating to Maya 2023.3 and V-Ray 6 on Windows 10, we have the problem that on two of our machines Maya immediately stop working when we import a Cosmos assets via the Cosmos browser.

Anyone having the same problem or is it related to our settings?

Thanks for any input,  
Lars

Same setup here but not getting that issue but proxies appear on render layers when they are not assigned to that layer. Do you get that?  
Also I have Maya set to open during startup but it just wont do it anymore, splash screen starts then disappears, cant work out why.

Arnold could be a reason. Try to deinstall it.  
The automatic make .tx from Arnold does kick in and Maya does freeze.

Thanks oglu - that does the trick. So, any V-Ray users have deinstalled Arnold by default? If you rename the tx files to tif, it also works.

@stezza No, problem here. At least not with Render Setups.
