[solved] Procedural crashes.

Can anyone confirm that adding procedural textures in MAX-9 crashes Maxwell ?

I've tried adding a checkerboard texture to a test ground plane, and also a noise texture as a mask between two different layers. Each time either material crashes when I try to make a preview or start a render.

Bitmaps work just fine.

Procedurals have never been supported by Maxwell. You have to use bitmap images an layer masks to achieve similar effects.

Ah, my mistake.
I could have swore it worked before, but I'm probably thinking of one of the other rendereres.
