AfterBurn + opacity mapped = crash - Garry Clarke - 11-05-2007
Hi,
I'm using Max 2008 32bit with the Max 9 32bit build of Afterburn.
I've noticed that Max crashes whenever I have opacity mapped objects in the scene. If I hide the objects all is fine but as soon as they are visible it crashes.
I've just noticed that several others are having the same problem.
Is there a fix or workaround, I have a deadline for Thursday and my scene has a lot of opacity mapped objects.
Kind Regards
Garry Clarke

Bummer deadline, why'd you switch so close to a deadline, if you don't mind me asking.
Not what you want to hear but the best workaround is max8 *shrug* until they get AB4 out.

Yeah I know, I feel like kicking myself.
I've been using Max 8 up until Max 2008 came out, this is the second job I've used Max 2008 for and I've had no problems with it so far. I had the whole scene set up with a fairly complicated particle system, it only went tits up when I started mixing the opacity mapped objects.
I've worked out a workaround of sorts as my opacity mapped objects aren't too big. But I'm switching back to Max8 for every thing else.

Hello,
Can you please send me a scene for max 2008 32 bit ?
I have tried to add opacity mapped sphere in the AfterBurn scene and it renders fine.
Thank you.

The scene renders for me I just get the same point3.h assertion error (as mentioned before). I just assumed that is what Garry meant by "crash".

Hi,
I've been looking into it a bit further and it's an assertion error. It happens only when I have opacity mapped objects in the scene, if I hide them it's OK.
I've now set Max to ignore the error and it'll render fine. Is this safe?
Do you still want me to send you a file?
Kind Regards

update:
Max will render the scene fine if I get it to ignore the error.
But it won't ignore the error when I network render.
Anyway to get Max to ignore the error when network rendering?
