I've been using Dreamscape for a few years now and generally have no problems but the last two jobs I've done with it I've run into an odd problem. While rendering an animated sequence Dreamscape will freeze/lockup on a specific scanline of a specific frame. The resulting freeze can only be broken by ctrl-alt-deleting out of Max.
When this happens in an animation the frame number and the scanline where the freeze happens is consistent and repeatable, for example it might be frame 78 and scanline 300 (of 486). In another animation it might be frame 200 and scanline 50. But in each animation it will always be that scanline on that frame, it doesn't matter if it's rendering as part of a sequence or individually. It doesn't matter if it's rendered locally or on the network. It doesn't even matter if I try to render the image in regions.
Also frames before and after the "freeze" frame render just fine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
