Crash with material

When I switch to “Material from Geometry” I get a vray error and then a hardcrash faster than I can even see the error message.

Thank you for your report!

Are you using the latest version of Frost (2.0.4)? If not, could you please update to the latest version and try this again?

If that doesn’t fix the problem, then could you please send us a scene file that reproduces this problem?

Max 2016, e.g. frame 0.

Thanks! Sorry, I was able to reproduce this crash with Frost 2.0.2, but I’m having trouble reproducing this with Frost 2.0.4.

Could you please check which version of Frost you’re using? You can find the version number in Frost’s “Help” rollout.

2.0.4

Vray 3.30.03

Thanks! I can reproduce the problem after changing my version of V-Ray. I’ll look into this.

It looks like the problem is in evaluating the Snow2 material on the PRT Loader, at the Krakatoa / V-Ray level. I’m not sure if we can fix this, but here are a couple of possible workarounds:

  1. Remove the material from the PRT Loader, or assign a non-V-Ray material.
  2. Update to V-Ray 3.40. I’m not sure if it was working correctly, but at least it wasn’t crashing for me with V-Ray 3.40.02.

Vray 3.40 works. And the new forest Pack 5.1 released a few days ago apparently works now with it too so we can upgrade the farm.

Thanks!

Great! Thank you for letting us know.
