jtiscareno Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 OK, I have a major deadline for Friday and for some reason or another my max/vray is crashing. I am and client wants to see the most minor change in 3d. OK fine, reworked my cad file, linked it to max, salvaged most of the model and material as before and introduce some changes to the model most notably herman miller models of workstations, they are blocks. Have been working on the max file, lighting is the same as before, material are pretty much the same, some new ones, the max model has been working fine. It is just that now that I wanted to see some previews it is crashing for no apparent reason. I reads everything fine, rpc, layers, blocks and just when it starts to say "prepare ray server" is when it just goes away, it does not freeze, it does not give me an error message it just vanishes????? So can some one out there help me out, I dont have a clue of what might be wrong??? HELP!!!! Thanks!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Is it the Vray Frame Buffer problem? Do you get the same thing using only Max frame buffer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ismael Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Check the "vraylog.txt" in your syatem root directory and see where it kills over at the bottom of the file. May clue some. Ismael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtiscareno Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 Guys thanks for the quick response, I have been hacking at this thing and found that it is the new cad model blocks of the herman miller that was crashing the model. I have deleted the blocks of the workstations and the rendering is working fine, just as before. Now my big question is this, I have taken the cad workstation model and imported it into max, tweaked with the material and it is working fine, tried to merge the max workstation and instanced as many as i needed and it was crashing the rendering, AGAIN. So the question is this, how do I make the max workstation model into a more compact one, I mean when I merged the max station it was giving me all the layers again just like if it were in cad, I want to see if i can compress the max station into one model, keeping the material, so to insert or merge that max station file and have it act as a "block". Any ideas??? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kippu Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 use it as vray proxies ... attach all the objects ... and then export it as a vray proxy .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manta Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Or collapse them down to editable meshes, and merge them into your scene... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
