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.
