Are there any known gotchas that cause a crash when rendering a matte object together with krakatoa partitions?
In my current scene, krakatoa gets to the “updating matte geometry” stage and then crashes out, often with a fast exit.
Trying to troubleshoot but with little success so far…
Cheers,

It looks like we broke Matte Objects in this build. Logged as bug #4006.
Thanks David - good to know.
I believe this has been fixed in the upcoming build. No word yet on when
we’ll be posting it.
i get the same error here.
i´m in desperate need of this function 
no not in desperate need at all 
i have a full body that disintegrates using krak for rendering. any “interior” like the skeleton should be a matte due to the fact that i want to collapse the skeleton after the “skin” layer disintegrated away…
here´s a brief preview:

still aloooot of work ahead to make it look cool tho. the speed of the falling particles is too high imo…
i haven´t got an animation data yet so i got kinda stuck in R&D 
there´s a pointcache modifier already but no cache to load on
in the final i plan on rendering 3 layers of krak. 150,000 particles each with a quite high density per particle which is currently at 7 and an exponent of -2. I will use up to 10 spherical deflectors st start the disintegration at different location on the body with a little delay each.
kind regards
