VRay Next CPU and Frost Custom Geometry Crashing

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max Issues
1

Hi,

I’m working with Frost 2.2.2 and vray_adv_40204_max2018_x64, in CPUwhen I enable “Use V-Ray Instancing” in Frost and render, Max hangs instantly and crashes after a few seconds.

It works if I disable “Use V-Ray Instancing” or if I render with VRay GPU.

I’ve attached a simple test scene.

Hello,

Does this version of Frost explicitly mention that it supports V-Ray Next ? I can’t seem to find that info on their site.
For V-Ray Next we changed a lot of our internal APIs and third party softwares need a new version that is compatible with the new API.

Best regards,
Yavor

Hi,

I can’t find that information either, I will send them an email, I need to anyway for other reasons and I’ll let you know.

it works fine in GPU though.

I’d guess that for GPU they behave as if the “Use V-Ray Instancing” option is OFF creating regular instances.
