Particle Trace vs Path Tracer
Roy,
I have a model I did earlier in the Nxt development that is a pretty big model. You may remember it was a living community built on a oil platform (called Seastead).
I pulled it up over the weekend, segregated the lights onto logical channels (the channels were not in the builds at the time I was working with this model).
I then tried to render using the path tracer. It ran for about the first pass then crashed my Acad to the desktop without any messages or warnings. I then ran it on the original particle tracer and it runs fine. Is there a limitation of the number of lights you can use (or should try to use) when using the path tracer that is different than the original rendering engine?

Shouldn't be a lights issue. If it's 32 bit it's likely an address space memory issue. The two engines can have different memory requirements. If it's not a memory issue I'm very interested in the model.

I would say that as well but this was on my home machine and it is a 64 bit OS. It is Vista but has never given me grief to this point. Got a quad core processor (I'm not sure of the clock speed).
I rebooted my machine and started only acad and Nxt and it did the same thing.
It is a big file but I have worked with much larger files with no problems (it's about 28 Meg).

I'm interested-- upload it if you're willing.

Sorry for the delay. I forwarded the model. Hope you can figure out what is giving me issues.
I lied when I said it was totally mine. I forgot Ted Kyte donated the awsome generator.

"Very nice piece. Brilliant work.
Are all these plants nxt render plants ?
They look very good. Ground cover is so thoughtful."
"Thank you so much."

If i sent you one or sets, could you "compose" one material as an example?
Maybe this is interesting for others too.."

Only did't know what to dfo with the AO map.."
"nXtRender doesn't use the AO texture image settings for anything, so don't bother trying to use that.
I would start use the Diffuse textures at 100% and experiment with the levels of the Specular Reflection.
