Re: pink rendermaps

["Mikko Ronkainen" <noratio(at)kolumbus.fi>]

Couple of days ago I did fail rendermappig 4K Ambient Occlusion, on rigged  
character, no use muting envelope and lattices. 2K Normal map and 1K  
displacement. What I did was duplicated mesh, freezed, exported as emdl.  
On New scene started from low, 256 pix duplicating reso until 4K,  
everything was fine. I was again supprised the cpu time it took with 2  
slaves. So if you had any kind of operators on mesh including envelope I  
might start removing them, export-import trick ofcourse fixes geo if  
something was wrong with the mesh. 4K occlusion was overkill and would  
have downscaled anyway, just wanted to know what was wrong, I hope it  
helps.
