3ds max stops working

[henrikaberg]

Hey

 

I have encountered a problem: 3ds max stops working when it starts to render.

 

First I thought there is RAM problem, but I checked it and there is 9GB free Ram out of 16GB when Max crashes.

 

-3ds Max error message says: unhandled exception.

 

-Max.log says this when loading the file:

ERR: [04508] [04640] BMP (C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2015\CachedThumbnails\100000000000009c.bmp) - The system cannot find the path specified. (0x3)

 

And this when starting to render:

ERR: [04508] [04640] Could not read/write file type: C:\Users\Mikko\Documents\3dsMax

 

I'm using Vray as default render. I have the WibuKey pluged in to usb port. WibuKey should start working when I open the computer. Today I find out that WibuKey said "WibuKey Network server is NOT working!". At that time my computer was sharing the internet connection with another computer which was running World f Warcraft. I started WibuKey network manually and we shut down the another computer, but it didn't fix the crashing problem.

 

I haven't have this problem earlier (like week ago) with much bigger 3dsmax-file.

 

EDIT:

I tried to render out another max.file and that worked out normally. So apparrently the problem is at the file that I tried to render earlier.

EDIT:

The scene renders normally with override material. So the problem seems to be related to material.

 

Any help will be appreciated

Thx in advance!
