maya 2015 freeze with sun/sky environment

[abstractmedia]

JimStar- It may or may not be related but I started having this problem after updating Maya 2015 to service pack 5 yesterday. I've tried Maya 2014 with no issues so that leads me to believe it has something to do with the update. I am running version 2.06.

Thank you, it's important detail. I will check it.

I have the same problem...

What is in script editor when it freezes?

In script editor the only line which gets added before the freeze is:

Code: Select all

octaneSun;

Now I tried SP5 with no difference at all - this also relates to the machine without the issue.

Everything seems to be working fine now.

I am getting the same error with Maya 2014 sp4
I was getting the same sunsky error in the script editor and a full freeze using 2.10 series for both standalone and plugin and I just upgraded to:

Latest standalone 2.11.1 and the latest maya plugin 2.11.1-5.4

When I render without adding a sunsky or a octane light added I have no problem.

When I add either of them through the shelf buttons OR add Octane nodes through hypershade I get a lock up and SE just says:

shadingNode -asUtility octaneSunSky;
// Result: octaneSunSky1 //

and freezes


this is on a plane and a cube and nothing else

Thanks

Yes Maya 2015 sp5 freezing with octane 2.11.1 -5.4 in viewport 2.0 with sunsky creation, even in new scenes.

Thank you, guys - I installed SP5 and was able to reproduce it. Will investigate the exact reason...
