Hi,
My guess is that it is a compatibility issue. Try opening the file, and save it again. This way the scene is saved in a max 5 format. Then try to render the scene again.

P.S. To avoid the loss of data due to an error of the kind you described, it's probably best (if your not doing it already) to render your scene into individual bitmaps and later render them out using for instance: Adobe after effects. You can do this by importing a sequense of bitmaps. Since max crashes lots of time during my renders, I found this technique to be very time-saving....

Hope this helps...

if you are using VRAY so may the Exposure controle is active, turn it off (in environmnet menu) & check if it's ok.

well... I have reinstalled 3dstudio and now appears one window before open program and say: "failed to initialize: maxshades.dlt"

can someone tell me what is this?

I think the problem may have to do with servicepack3 for windows 2000, if that the OS your using.
I just had the same crashing issue on a scene that I'v rendered a
dozen times with no problem and now it crashes every time .

When I shut down, Windows comes up with an error message.

When I start up, Windows says, (some files in service pack3 are not recognized by Windows - reinstall service pack3.)

Come to think of it, I think I read about a issue with max5 & service pack3.

I'll see if I can find it again.:D

I didn't find the servicepack3 article anywere, but I found this posted in another forum.
I haven't had a chance to check it yet so tell me how it goes.

I got the same problem on 5. It was happening because the render to file box was checked and it was over writing an existing render with the same name. If you change the file name of the new render it doesnt happen.

But why should you have to change the name.

[Dave Black]

I think I may know.

If you are rendering to an .avi file, then perhaps you are using a compressor like Divx, and the prevoiusly rendered file is either corrupt, or you are rendering out to a aspect ratio that Divx barfs on.

I've seen this happen quite a few times.

Maybe if you delete the old one, and try rendering out to an uncompressed .avi, you can rule that out.

Just some thoughts, hope you get it fixed.

Thanks to all, but... the problem continue!!!

Now I have wathing all possibilites, and i´m going to explaine all points:

1- my OS is windows 98
2- when 3dS starts appears a window that says: "failed to initialize maxshades.dlt"
3- 3dS crash when finish rendering
4- 3dS crash when I aborts the rendering
5- I have dissabled all aditional plugins
6- that problem appears in all tipe of archives but no everytime. from a complex file of 3dS version R3 to a new simply model make in 3dS Max5.
7- when I say "3dS max R3 file" i say that is a file modeled in 3ds 3 but after saved like a "3dS 5 file"
8- could it be a virus??????
9- this problem appears in *.jpg *.bmp and all tipe files (or without save the file)
10- if i select that the image be saved in a file (*-jpg file f exmp.) when finish render 3dS crash BUT the file is created and i can see throug windows. the created file is totally OK.


I say all that i remember about the problem. Very very thanks to all because all of yours are helping me.

bye!

Thanks to all!!!

The exact same thing happens here.
I disabled all plugins, reinstalled MAX nude; same crash after rendering first frame.

BUT: when I install final Render, and convert all materials to final render materials, it does'nt crash!
Problem with native max materials??
Or maybe fR corrupted something beyond what a clean reinstall overwrites??

ahhhhhhh....
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[Bu3D]

Now I know what is the problem!!!! I downloaded final render and installed it, so this were the problem, a defectuosity final render.:bounce:


now, where can i find final render again?? :drool:
