What is your system memory status before & during crash? Perhaps M~R is peaking it's memory allowance.


Does it still crash if you load a rendered MXI and apply glare to that?

Apparently the glare map file mentioned in the first post has been deleted... Does anyone have a copy?

Thanks,

Hi Tim,
I am trying method 3, so run MXCL -d, then select glare and I can see the change to the small preview but when I hit refresh the main image is not updated? What do you think I might be doing wrong?

Thanks for your detailed explainations.

are you also using -ml (multilight) option..if so there is currently a bug that prohibits the use of glare if you have multilight also on..
well i guess theres multiple bugs.. glare also has a memory leak in it and that too will keep the glare from refreshing to your main image sometimes.. esp if your computer has low ram-or maybe on a hires image?.. but often times it will just crash once u run outa memory..

hopefully maxwell1.2 will be out soon with these problems fixed

Not sure really, but my first guess would be to increase the slider for the glare value and refresh the main image, until you get the required level of glare.

I have found this in a few cases, but from memory using a different glare map increased the effect on the refreshed image. I usually have to try a few different size versions, white area not resolution, until I get the effect I want.

Try resizing the white areas in PS of a specific map, if the one's I've made don't suit.

Certain maps seem to work better for certain scenes.

Are you using multi light? Glare doesn't currently work with multi light.
