"I think at that particular frame I have an object with it's render visibility animated from off to on..."
I remember having problems with that too. Try setting/keying primary and secondary rays off instead. sven From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Griswold Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2013 10:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Fatal BSP2 error I think at that particular frame I have an object with it's render visibility animated from off to on. I'll give batch a try & see what happens. I've tried rendering with all diagnostics turned on and I can't see anything else listed that it's having a problem with. -Paul On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 3:47 PM, Ponthieux, Joseph G.

When BSP2 was introduced it was apparently further optimized to set automatically to what it thinks is the best settings internally. I'd try changing the render type to rasterize or scanline, and I would also try render from xsibatch to see if that works. I'd bet that since everything works but that frame you could either move the camera or an object just a bit(gotta find the right one first of course) and it might free it up. -- Joey Ponthieux LaRC Information Technology Enhanced Services (LITES) Mymic Technical Services NASA Langley Research Center __________________________________________________ Opinions stated here-in are strictly those of the author and do not represent the opinions of NASA or any other party.

Though I think I'd get the same if I tried those as well. I'm searching through all my textures for the scene now - there are a lot of animated ones, and I'm wondering of one of those are corrupt. -Paul On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 3:37 PM, Ponthieux, Joseph G.

Have you tried using the older bsp and changing the bsp settings?
