Max9-SP2, Vray 1.5RC3 - Keeps crashing

[Ky Lane]

Hey guys,

 

Got a fairly complex model trying to render, and finding Max keeps just keeps shutting down, with no error report or anything, fairly randomly.

 

Have tried using the Vray frame buffer as well as the Max one, same prob.

 

Have tried limiting my materials.

 

Any hints?

[Koper]

disable all your displacement, were finding that its the biggest culprit off all

[Ky Lane]

Oh, bummer

[Koper]
