stayinwonderland Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Here's my scene: link Was just wondering if it crashes max for anyone else? Very simple scene. I had to revert to an earlier version and now that's crashing. Might be a vray thing *shrug* who knows. Don't worry about trying to figure out what the crash is, mainly interested if anyone can open it. Created in 3dsmax 2010 & vray 2.0. Many thanks!

Corey Beaulieu Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Both files open fine for me in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stayinwonderland Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Thanks for that. Any offers on 2012? Going once... I've started a new scene and I'm merging the geometry. See how this goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umesh Raut Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 So how did that go? No problem it seems... We tend to forget that we've hooked a request somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stayinwonderland Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Yeah, was waiting for someone to open it in 2010 really. But that worked and the scene re-opens fine. The ONLY thing I can think of, that I did out of the ordinary, was to assign a shortcut key during the creation of that scene. Then max told me it couldn't save that change because I didn't have permission or something. Wild guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc666 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 hi andy, I have same problem sometime back. Do you work in 64bit OS.? Here is a solution that works fine for me. When you install 3ds max in 64bit OS it install both versions 32bit and 64bit. if you work in 64bit then try to open in 32bit. it well open, then change the view port to wire frame. It will stops the crashing 3ds max and then save it. Open in 64bit. Just try to work in wire frame view port or export to *.fbx file format and then import it. It mostly happens when graphic driver does'nt match to hardware or directX not producing the textures according to your model or scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stayinwonderland Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hi, thanks for the tip. Only thing is, I just checked and I don't see 3dsmax in my (x86) programs folder - and if it means having to work in wireframe, I'd rather my option of starting a new scene and merging the geometry. The only thing you lose are render/envoronment settings so it's actually not too big a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stayinwonderland Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hey guys, I'd still like to see someone with 2010 open the file. It keeps happening. I can save it, work on it for hours and then if I open it - bammo. Every time I want to open the file I have to start a new scene and merge the geometry. I'm pretty much done with the scene but would love any more input as I'd hate to have this happen to a major/commercial scene. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
