Updating bitmaps with corona interactive crashes max

[JoachimArt]

I just bought a plugin (material texture loader) that had this as a warning for corona users. Doing what is said here might be a good place to starting hunting for this problem. I will test when I have time but thought you should know. 

"The CoronaBitmap has trouble updating many different textures at the same time, 3ds Max might crash as a result.
Either turn off Rendering for the material editor, or don't instance too many CoronaBitmaps."

Hi,

I'm still not able to reproduce this one.

The next time you experience a crash with this please can you send over a minidump? Instructions on how to generate one are in my signiture.

Thanks,

Rowan

Hi, I just tried now, it took me 5 minutes to reproduce this, very strange it doesn't happen to you. I have just committed a big report with my minidump. I did get a message in corona one time when updating the image, saying it had to stop progressive rendering because the file had been changed and being reloaded, I never had that before, but it might be what's happening, that it sometimes doesn't stop rendering when image is being saved and crash instead. anyway, I hope you'll make something out of the minidump.

Hi,

Thanks, where did you send the bug report and minidump to?

Secondly I think that error message is to do with using Max Bitmaps. Would you be able to switch to CoronaBitmaps and see if the issue persists?

Cheers,

ok I will give it a try.
I made a new ticket through bug report. Didnt it come through?

I've not been able to reproduce it through corona bitmap. Maybe its gotten better in latest Corona 5?
Dunno if you want to check out the minidump for regular bitmaps - did you find that one?

Hi,

In Corona 4 we redesigned the CoronaBitmap reloader which in turn fixed some issues like this.

I have the minidump now, thanks for sending it through. We will take a look at it and see if we able to fix this as it just seems to be happening with the Max bitmap.

I guess the workaround will be to use the CoronaBitmap for the time being.

Thanks,

Rowan

Yeah now that I know I can trust corona bitmap I will use that. thanks!
