Fatal error

[Alejandro Testa]

Hi Roy, I  am receiving a fatal error each time I tried to render a particular model. I was rendering  a view everything was OK, I change the view, tried to render  and I received the fatal error advise. I restart windows open the drawing, tried to render the view  again same  results. I shut down my system again, open autocad open the drawing using recover (no errors), copy all the objects to a new drawing, tried to render, always the fatal error.  I tried to render the original view when everything was ok, same fatal error.   I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits, autocad 2011 and NXt 237.  Do you need the model?

I remove some recently inserted objects and it seems to work. I will triyy again and see what happen.

Yep-- set it up and give me instructions on how to reproduce. Use the Upload link under support.

Hi Roy. Do you find something? I find that the problem is with the wine glass or the wine bottles that are in the shelves. But if I freeze all the layers and render only glass and bottles they work., but when I thaw all the layer the fatal error appears. Hope this help to find out what is going on here.

Yes, I found it. I'll update soon, maybe tonight if I have a chance.

It's a bug in the caustics code. As a workaround, if you uncheck Caustics for all of the items in question it should run fine. Keep a copy of the crashing version to verify that it's actually fixed.

BTW-- using caustics on a drawing like this is probably not worth the extra calulation time.
