Material editor not responding

Hi Guys,

 

I am fighting on a scene from two nights and suddenly the material editor becomes not responding and crashes the 3ds max ( using vray ) .

Nothing seams to work even importing into a new scene.I spend 12 hours saving layer by layer each object and debuging to see where the issues is but no result.

 

Any idea how to solve it will be really welcome.

 

Thanks

Sometimes max files get sick in odd ways. Some things to try:

 

View all your textures with IrfanView, which will complain to you if an image file is corrupted. I had problems like that once when a hard disk was starting to have bad sectors.

 

For that matter, run a sector-level scandisk overnight, and take appropriate action if your drive is failing.

 

Make a material library out of all your scene materials, then "Update Scene Materials From Library"

 

Merge all your geometry to a new file, then do the same

 

Change (via script) all your scene materials to standard mats, then merge to new scene and update scene mats from library
