Title: Still issues with reflective shader?
Post by: reck on July 17, 2008, 06:53:29 AM
Hi,

I've got a scene setup with an imported object which i've attached a reflective shader to. Whenever I try and render at higher detail settings (0.8 ) it renders as far as the object and then just stops. I don't get any error message and the rendering time is still going up but it stops rendering any more of the scene.

At this point if I try and stop it I get a message saying Terragen has stopped responding and I have to force quit.

It sounds very similar to the problem here that was posted today by Cyphyr http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?topic=4450.msg46712#msg46712

I should add i'm using the latest tech/alpha release.

Can you share an example scene file with us so we can replicate the problem?

Hi Oshayn,

I will try this project under tech preview 5 and get back to you if it's still freezing up.

I've tried rendering the same scene in tp5 that was crashing everytime in tp4 and it's rendered ok. So it looks like this reflection bug has been fixed  :)
