Kray's hard to get moods

Post by stefanj »

Hello again,

I find this strange: some scenes give me the "unexpected exception" or "no memory for buffer!!!" crash at render time. With some luck, I'll fix the problem with a re-launch of Layout, or greying out some/all surfaces, etc. I'm not sure yet.

But the strange thing is this: when I try to recreate the unstable scene crash with a single polygon - it simply won't crash! Double points, ngons, gradients on every possible channel, procedurals on any possible channel, multiple textures, etc, etc, etc. It just renders perfectly!

How can I trouble shoot these things, when it seems so random?

Try to remove one thing at the time. The error could be caused by a surface setting or a bad object.

No memory for buffer happens when Kray runs out of memory because of large objects or large images.

Sometimes it can be combination of things and this is the hardest problem to hunt down.

If you have a scene that is constantly producing crashes post it here and we'll look at it...

cheers!
