BUG: Optimizing Materials Can Cause 3D to Quit
Last reviewed: April 19, 1996
Article ID: Q149736
The information in this article applies to:
  • Softimage 3D for IRIX, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

Optimizing materials on objects that contain material-related expressions can cause Softimage 3D to quit.

For example, when an object contains an expression that is driven by a material fcurve, if all the materials in the scene have been optimized, the material fcurve disappears. If you save your scene and subsequently try to reload it, Softimage 3D quits.

RESOLUTION

Don't optimize materials containing material-related expressions.

STATUS

Softimage has confirmed this to be a bug in the Softimage product listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
