Ok, the story goes like this:
When I dlded M~R beta and the new cinemaxwell plugin, I couldn't render anything more than a few minutes. A crash was always waiting for me.
I first suspected it could be the plugin, so what I did was to get an old mxs scene (focus.mxs) I had made with 3DS max and try to render it from a command line on Mac OSX.
My first tests ended in a crash after a few minutes.
I then started playing with the new mxcl command line features by using the -hd option (-hd = hard disk) and suddenly my renders didn't crash.
M~R ALWAYS crashes upon finish (time limit or samples) but the image is there. By using 99999999 minutes and 25 samples the render goes on!!!
I then returned to cinema and made a few scenes and rendered them with the -hd in the CL options. It seemed to work and then I deleted the -hd option and it worked again.
I don't know what happened, but I can render now.
I may have missed something I did, I dunno really!!!
at the moment I am rendering a hirez scene. I will post it later if everything goes well!
