When creating a file read node with the latest nightly build, there are some serious issues where it freezes up the interface when loading a texture, or changing filter mode.
It makes loading textures impossible to work with. Is there a workaround for this at the moment?
Yeah, it’s strange.. I am having it happen again.. I think either my hard drive is going to fail, or its something with V-Ray. It doesn’t happen when I unload the V-Ray plugin. I will see if it happens with stable build.
Might be worth trying the env variable fix described here http://www.chaosgroup.com/forums/vbulletin/showthread.php?66013-Render-frozen-at-0
One of the guys at work was having something similar to you today, and it seemed to go away with this fix. (But there were other things going on too, so it may have been something else - easy to try though)
