AccuRender nXt

advanced rendering for AutoCAD

I have a file with a repeatable error in both architecture 2012 & 2013. I can not get it to repeat outside of this file however. I've audited the file with no errors.

The error occurs in trying to render a panorama, using interior lighting settings. If I run the rendering in engine 1 it starts the rendering set-up & crashes, in engine 0 it will render once. If you pause or re-start the rendering autocad again crashes. I will upload the files for both 2012 & 2013. I'm using windows 7, 64bit, Autocad Architecture, and NXT build 310.

Is there a simple fix here?

I tried uploading files twice & connection is timing out.

Are you using the upload link?  In any case, I'm traveling and won't be able to do anything about it until next week.

I did try to use  the upload link with zipped files both Friday and again today. So far it has consistently reset the connection before the file is completely transfered. I will try to do 2 individual files but after that I don't have any other ideas.

I've got them both-- I'll take a look today or tomorrow.

The Light named "Ceiling Light" is causing the crash.  Apparently, tagging a polar array as a light is a big no-no. (I've got this on the list to look at-- I should be able to prevent the crash, anyway.  The thing may also crash if you tag an object that isn't 3d-- a line without thickness, for example-- so this does need to be fixed somehow.)  For now, you can explode the array and tag the individual sources as lights-- or any similar solution.

Not related to panoramas, BTW-- it will crash on any Path Tracer rendering for sure-- and may crash e0 as well.

Thank you very much Roy

If you must array, tag the first object, then array.

"Thanks for your kind words. Yes, all plants are generated with nxt plant-editor. I have used leaves from Marc Chaumier's plant library. (Download/ Content + Entourage)"
