Layout crashing every time!

[p_micah]

Using LW8.3, running OSX Tiger, (problems started after the OS upgrade).
Simple scene, not too many polys or textures, but every time i try to render, half a second after it starts "rendering polygons" Layout crashes.

happened 10-12 times in a row, very frustrating!

ANY ideas are welcome especialy if you're tech support (ya'll aren't answering the phones over there btw)

cheers,
micah

this may be caused by almost anything. but try removing the each texture file one by one and see if thats the problem. check if you have UVs. it may be causing it. if UVs are the problem, try remapping them.

Speaking for tech support, I would try to recreate your configs. Bin your existing ones when LightWave isn't running, and then:

1. Run Layout and hit Alt F11, Scan Directory and OK, Done;
2. Hit Alt F10, change your preset to 7.5, change it back to Default, Done;
3. Same as 2, but press Alt F9 first;
4. Quit Layout, Load Modeler;
5. Repeat steps 2&3 (the one you change to will be 7.0, but this doesn't matter);
6. Quit Modeler and Hub

WARNING! This will lose any custom configs you have, so be prepared to recreate them or save them...

thank for the input! hopefully this works. i was thinking origonaly that it would have been a compatibility issue with OSX Tiger and LW. i didn't have these problems before i upgraded.

cheers
