Maxwell Render | Official public forum

i have a scene here where if there is a map set in the slot for length AND a variation set to a value above ~20
(i tested 0,1,25,33,)
maxwell will crash when allocating the grass data structures.

running maxwell 3.0.1.0

You can send me the scene... tom|nextlimit,com

Hi Tom,

i boiled it down a bit please try this:

running 3.0.1.0

- open studio

- import a plane 1x1

- create a default grass extension

- set root width to 15mm

- set tip to 4mm

- render to fire: should be ok and stable

- now load any map into the texture slot under Lentgh (variation will be at default 60%)

- maxwell studio crashes with fire. in rhino i get an access violation but no full crash when starting fire.

- when rendering to maxwell.exe the process crashes when allocating data structures



let me know if you still need my scene. it seems it is a combination of parameters, eg when root is set to 7mm not 15, it renders ok.

confirmed
that happened in version 3.0.1.3

Confirmed, thank you!
