For some reason my mental ray is hanging on renders that a few days ago were working fine. I have a duplicate workstation I have tried the same renders on and they work. I dont understand why all of a sudden, on one of my stations, mental will pop up the renderview with a gray screen and just hang there. Also I cannot abort this render. Normally it will pop up a blue renderview and then the render will begin. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

try to get mental ray to output "progress" messages instead of just warnings ..

.. you might get to see a little bit more information about where the hang is happening.

I had a problem with Mental Ray hanging when I used certain anti-aliasing filters on deforming meshes. Mitchell was really bad, Gaus was usually stable, but usually if it's deforming I don't go higher than triangle. If it's not deforming Mitchell is supposed to be the best, but as I said if it's like a skinned character it sometimes hung up for me.
