Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold

This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

'the application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way'

my c drive has 152 gb. of which 11.7 is free space

but i have rendered in mental ray in 3d s max before and all sorts and not had any problems.

i tohugh tit was ok when i decreased the options but it still did it. but the render did get further.

do you think i should perhaps render in layers and composite them after?

thanks.

Well I can tell you that you have enough power to run MR so you'll need to look for some other explination.

You could try saving as a .ma file and letting someone else have a go rendering it? Just wondering if its a problem caused by your installation of maya or something random.

i think i found the problem...i took out a tree i made and it rendered. the tree is made from nurbs....i think my comp for some annoying reason couldnt take it. its the only thing i can think of. i shall render the tree separatly and hope it will do so i can composite it.

if it still doent render....i shall convert to polys..do you think this is in with a chance of working? i hope so.

i have attached the file for anyone who may want to have a go and see if it is my comp.
any ideas welcome

thanks
