hey guys

im having a huge problem that i cant figure out

everytime that i render with mental ray i get the same error:

// Error: *Fatal* (mental ray) : mental ray encountered a fatal error. The system may have become unstable. Please save the scene and exit Maya.

i think that it has to do when i try to attacha color map to a certain blinn that i have. It works fine evertime till i try to do this

im not sure whats up. I have tried .tga .tif .png and .jpg and stll no luck any ideas?

oh yeah and it used to work, and then i updated my textrue and thats when it stopped working

Looks like a Memory Issue. Try limiting your memory when you use single frame rendering. In maya you can do this via the Render Single Frame Option Box. Normaly the limit should be at auto. Try calculating a value that fits your system. If that does not help you can still try to batch render a single frame.
