Crash on .mat library open with custom object as preview object

[3dwannab]

I've a problem in the daily build 24.01.15. It crashes max 2015 when opening a .mat file which has one of the materials as a custom object.


I can send you the .mat file for testing?

The name of the mat inside the .mat file is '_Dirt Trick'

[Ondra]

yes, please send it to me

[Ondra]

filename _Corona Materials Collection

[3dwannab]

Nope. Works in max 2014 using 'Jan  2 2015 build'

Rename file to 'Corona' Still the same.

I cannot reproduce the problem. Can you send me also the custom object you are using?

[3dwannab]

I'm migrating to max 2015 finally and it seems that max crashes when you don't have a custom object pre loaded in the options when some of the mat previews have that changed.

You can mark this as either solved or a max problem. I over looked the simplest thing here. Sorry for taking up your time.

[Ondra]

so it crashes for example in other renderers too?

[3dwannab]

EMMM! It doesn't allow you to unload/remove the custom object once you load it in the slot (No checkbox/right click option). Not even if I rename the original file to force max after a restart to look for it does it say missing file. Crazy!

Unless I find a registry item for it or find a way through maxscript then I dunno. Will look more about this tomorrow.
