We switched from 2013SP1 to 2015 last fall but stepped back to 2014SP2 this winter because there were too many bugs in 2015. But now we realized that the display LUT in 2014SP2 doesn't support the full dynamic range of the region. So we are thinking to go back to 2015 just because of that.

Only problems we've had are Arnold constantly crashing soft when you fiddle
with shader settings, whilst the region is live....

A Solid Angle issue I guess

Although I agree with Matt, sounds like there's some corrupt shader/geometry
in the scene.....

When mental ray is disabled, it's usually a sign something is wrong with the

scene.  Changing versions of Softimage won't fix that problem.   You'd be
best advised to investigate the problem and fix it.

That said, latest service pack for any version is generally the most solid
release.  I would go with 2014 SP2 as 2015 had some regressions.

I'm running Soft 2014. I am experiencing a lot of render crashes where
Mental Ray is being purposely disabled by the software.


I can update to:

2014 SP1
2014 SP2
2015
2016

Whats the best choice? What is everyone having the least issues with?


Thanks
