Hi,
Scanline crashes while it's set to main render, rendering fails every time. This is happening with a brand new empty scene and of course with scenes that has some objects.

I have:
- Octane for 3ds max plugin STABLE 3.05 4.29
- 3ds Max 2014 with latest service pack
- Windows 10
- GPU: 2x GTX 780
- nvidia driver 369.09

This happens with 2 other PC's also

Scanline is very important for my work, is there a fix for it?

I just reinstalled my Windows10, installed fresh 3ds max 2014, installed new service pack 6, Scanline working normally... I installed Ocrane for 3ds max plugin (latest stable), Scanline working, but second time I opened 3ds max, Scanline is crashing again like in my previous post!

Please fix this ASAP!

Hi [email protected],
Your issue should be resolved in past releases.
I tried, no crash found. Could you check again?
No more reporting this issue yet.

I tried multiple times, crashes!

so at work I have 3 computers with octane, Scanline crashes on all of them, one of those computers got a clean Windows install, and crashes again.

But at home, I have also the same max version and setup like at my work, and at home it doesn't crash, I have no clue what could be the difference, it's basically the same program and plugin setup...

Hi [email protected],
could you make other attempts? Unfortunately I found no issue after 4.23,
so it's difficult to investigate or help for developers.

I solved the problem! It was my mistake

I had maxstart.max file created back when I used Octane 2, it had some basic setup that I needed for my work

and when I switched to Octane 3, my guess is that it took some parameters or something from before that was incompatible with new Octane 3 and it caused crashes. If you want I can send you that "faulty" max file, maybe it will reveal some hidden bug or something.

I'm happy that problem in the end was not on your side. Sorry for all the mess.

Hi [email protected],

Just one info, Scanline was crashing while I had Texture Enviroment with RGB image loaded in enviroment map slot, when I remove it, everything works
