Re: Lightwave Freezing/Crashing after KRAY Prerendering Stage

Hi Jure! That seemed to do the trick! You know I didn't even think about luminosity as the culprit, LW must've been freaking out trying to calculate millions of minute lighting solutions for every polygon of every tree. The tree models were purchased off TurboSquid and must have had Lum applied alre...

Re: Lightwave Freezing/Crashing after KRAY Prerendering Stage

Ok - attached is the .lws file. I know they are way too long, but my computer is very very new (specs below)

12.0 GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6670 (Drivers from 11/9/11)

Thanks!

Lightwave Freezing/Crashing after KRAY Prerendering Stage

I'm having an issue with KRAY crashing Lightwave while rendering. Here's the situation; I have an outdoor scene that uses a 45000 poly plane with a deformation applied to create a mountainous landscape, and am using KRAY Instancing to create trees spread about the scene. Previously, before using thi...
