i recently have been getting this error, any ideas.



the same hdr was used 2 minutes before.

As a rough guess, I'd say you are using 32 bit version and this HDR image is very big.

Tom,
Yes 32bit,
hdr. is 45.7 mb

[tom]

You need 64 bit version.

Shrink that hdr down!

Now, that's strange:
I used the .hdr gifted to us by NextLimit many times (Thank you, NextLimit )
And they're like 50-60 mb, and I too use 32bit version on my 1/2-core-museum-piece and never had that problem; just takes a bit longer to render.
Try the usual stuff like re-save the .hdr, restart the Maxwell and computer.
When my system is on for a long time, rebooting does help
But if you keep getting an error over again - don't know...

Frosty.. the HDR you're using was LDR... (Mountain from Kaisergebirge).. what app have you used to make it HDR... PS... HDRShop..?

Herve, i just use maxwell render to save it as an hdr. the odd thing is i can render a scene with the same hdr and if i try to render a preview in scene it will give this error, but i add it to the network render queue, and it renders w/o error.
