brain Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 HI, I made the candle VTM from SideFX and when I tried to make the sprite_shop and add the Vex Super Material my Houdini always crashes without any error or so. It just shuts down. I have no clue why. Maybe you have some ideas. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenong Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Hey Brain, Would you mind posting your hardware configuration here? It would help in troubleshooting. Cheers! steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenong Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 Hey brain, Did this happen before you installed the new Nvidia drivers? Also, can you rename the houdini6.1 directory to another name then try it again? Maybe I'll download the latest Nvidia drivers to test since I have the same graphics card as you though I'm using Win2k. Cheers! steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brain Posted October 27, 2003 Author Share Posted October 27, 2003 Can't remember if I tried it with my older drivers. Will try it with an older driver and to rename the directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Does it crash upon loading the file? Or when you create a certain object? Why I ask is we've recently seen a bug in 6.1.149 in relation to loading certain hip files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brain Posted October 27, 2003 Author Share Posted October 27, 2003 It is not when I load a *.hip file. It crashes if I try to add a Shop Manager in the geometry network and then add a Vex Super Material. Hope you understand what I mean. It crashes when I add the Material to the Shop manager in my network. Without any error message or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athomas Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Actually I've got the same problem on Win, when opening up Houdini, going into VEX laying down a operator and stepping into the network crashes Houdini. Happens with a new scene or a loaded file when the file is loaded from the menu with open command. The way around this, or at least it works for me is to double click on a hip file and open Houdini with it or from Cygwin opening the file. Don't know if this is of any help.

brain Posted October 29, 2003 Author Share Posted October 29, 2003 Thanks for the tip. I just made the Super Material in the Shops Pane and not in a separete shop network in my network. This way it worked by I can't add the preferences of the material to my created subnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
