Max 9 crashes when I add displace mod

[Arnold Grove]

Max 9 is crashing when I added a displacement modifer to my wall/brick texture. I have this mat as a multi-sub object with floors and ceiling.

 

I first added it in the vray mat displacment slot, along with a bump. I had the dis settign at 2.

 

Then I tried it adding the VrayDisplMod and it still crashes. Im using Max 9 32 bit w/ Win XP.

 

Any ideas? Thanks, ag

ps,

Im trying it w/ a standard mat instead of a vray mat to see what happens. Rendering now.

Your talking about the vraydisplacement modifier I'm assuming.

 

I have this problem even on 64 bit machines.

 

Try using 2D displacement instead of 3d. That usually solves it for me.

2D meaning simply in the material displacemt map slot rather than adding VRay displacement Modifer correct?

 

If so I am..did that first actually and it crashed. quicker when i used modifier.

 

 

If not could you point that one out to me? thanks

No he's talking about the vray displacement modifier, there are options in that modifier 2d, 3d, or subdivision ...choose 2d
