Crash on renderer switch About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011.

Crash on renderer switch // Tech Forum 1  |   Order by default Post by seavu // Aug 6, 2008, 6:50am seavu Total Posts: 46 Yesterday I switched the render to Virtualight to try out some renders. Today I tried to go back to Lightworks but it crashes every time. Did the switch in Model/TS6 files/Preferences/Renderer. I think I will have to reinstall. Sorry my email doesn't support the error reporting. Post by Norm // Aug 6, 2008, 7:01am Norm Total Posts: 862 If you switch render engines midstream, you can encounter difficulty. If you had a new empty scene, you could do a switch. With existing content, there could be materials that are not compatible with the render engine you are switching to. The safest stance is to begin a scene with a render engine and keep the scene that way. You could then redo all the objects in the scene to a basic color scheme and safely save the new scene and change render engine. Then tailor the material for that engine.

Created a new project, new scene and loaded the default layout from the library browser (which I hope is reloading factory defaults) but still no luck.

Here's a Direct Link (http://forums1.caligari.com/truespace/showpost.php?p=73567&postcount=21). See if that will get you up and running. :) Post by seavu // Aug 6, 2008, 9:14am seavu Total Posts: 46 Deleting truespace.cfg and restarting tS fixed the problem. This reset the renderer to Lightworks. Thanks.:) Post by Heidi // Aug 6, 2008, 10:51am Heidi Total Posts: 335 You're welcome. :) If you want to use virtualight, do the regedit fix. :)
