Hello, I am no more able to work on my on going scene. Max crash as soon as I try to open the material. It works fine on the blank new scene, but not on this one. I test with the original scene (never save with the nightly built), same result. I switch to standard material editor, it finally came up after a long hangup (not responding) time (1minute). I notice that I first need to open the material editor into a blank scene before opening my scene, otherwhise the material editor crash max. Should I revert to old version instead of the nightly stable built? Thanks ---

We will need a sample scene in order to find out what’s going on. I remember that I had similar issue when all of my textures are loaded from a network location with a slow network speed - It seams that Max starts to load all the textures and until it reads them all it freezes and sometimes even crashes. Which Vray/Max versions are you using ? And where are the texture located ?
