Re: render crashes on 6.02 (mental ray will no longer work) 1.2 mem usage

["Tim Leydecker" <BauerOink(at)gmx.de>]

The nice thing about 6.x is that mR can crash
without having XSI dissapear...that´s a nice
thing actually. But sometimes it also happens
that a XSI process is still active althought
the app has been closed, resulting in Mem
not free´d up. Killing the process gives it
away but I think that´s not the problem here.

I can´t comment on hair, never came close
to it sofar (luckily I guess).

Cheers

tim
