theMadMonster Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I am trying to render out an animation and max keeps crashing. I am using default scan line render. I have 186,000 polys in the scene, a couple objects following a few paths. Rendering to avi just crashes, and when I try a batch render it gets past the first frame and then crashes. The animation is 400 frames. I have never had this problem before and I am not sure what is going on. pc specs: windows 7 64 bit, max 2011 64 bit, 8gb memory, 2.8GHz processor. im open for any suggestions.

TJunkers Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Try resetting your Render settings by changing it to Mental Ray than back to scanline. I had an issue like this and I reset my renderer and went through the settings one by one and it worked great! And worse case scenario go through the settings one by one till you find whats causing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex York Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 You shouldn't be rendering to a movie file by the way. Render to uncompressed TIFF, EXR etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
