3ds max 2013 crashes when trying rendering with Iray

[Lextorlex]

Hi, I have problem with Iray in 3ds max 2013. When I try to render any scene with Iray, Max crashes. It doesn't matter Iray in production or in active shade mode. It sucsessfuly bakes environment and textures but when it starts rendering max immediately crashes. Iray in 3ds max 2011 works fine. My system is: 2 intel xeon E5-2620 installed on motherboard asus Z9PE-D8WS with 64gb of ram and 2 gb Asus GTX 560 ti, Win 7x64. Any suggestions?

Hi, I have the same problem with Iray in 3ds max 2013. When U try render anything, Iray crashes. On max 2012 iray works good. I have Notebook dell xps l702x. With 16Gb ram, intel core i7 2630qm and Geforce 555m with 3gb ram.

i was having the same issues and i discovered the problem was that i was loading textures from another workstation which as well were in midload

Here iRay works fine in 2013. No problems.

I told in the very first post that it crashes even if i try to render a new scene (an empty scene). I run max, set up Iray as default render, hit render button and it crashes. in max 2011 all is working fine

Have you try to set number of CPU's in Hardware resources in Renderer tab to 1 core and render again?
Or just use 1-2 CPU's (cores) and no GPU?
I have i7 2600K + 1 Quadro 600 + GTX 560 Ti 2GB and I use only 1 CPU (core) (because I can't set it to 0) + GTX 560 Ti for iRay render.

BR!

It seems to me there exist some bug in max or in windows for this very configuration. Iray doesn't work even when I try to render with cpu only, or with gpu only. May be SP1 for max will fix it. Thanks a lot for everybody who tried to help

Sorry to hear that
Have you try to switch off HT (in BIOS) for CPU's and test iRay? I know that is not an option, but just for testing.

BR!
