Maya 4.5 + Mental Ray crashes with 2048 textures

[luminis]

Hi again,

I have been able to use textures larger than 2048 in the past with mental ray and have had no problems. Perhaps the problem is in the settings you are using, how the file is used, or maybe even not having enough RAM to handle it. Was there a particular error message on the Ouput Window - or did it just crash without a trace as so many programs enjoy doing?

Let me know.

Hi again

I don't think it's memory, I have 1.5 GB and the model was a simple cylinder... anyway Maya just crashes... no message a try to render the same scene without Mental Ray and it works fine... I am just using "standard" setups a plain preview finalgathering... anyway as I said before I usually do not use very big textures... I asked just out of curiosity... uhm... gotta try again later...

anyway sorry for wasting your time...
