Crash when painting area on surface with vertex color modiier
« on: December 18, 2023, 03:57:20 PM »
Hello,
in 8.2.5 I encountered crashing when painting area on surface with vertex color modiier. Its random but eventualy it happens every time I tried to paint or erase area. Hope for quick fix thanks.

Hi,
Sorry to hear about this issue and thanks for reporting it. Are you using interactive rendering when painting, or does it crash in normal viewport modes?

Best,
Paul

Nope Im not doing it while rendering. Maybe there smething else which causing the error but the vertex paint modifier is definitely involved.

OK - thanks for clarifying. I'll look into it and see if I can replicate the problem here. If you can send a scene with the particular setup you are using, that might be helpful too.

Many thanks again for reporting this.

OK - Don't worry. Let me try to replicate it and if I struggle then I will ask you again for more details.

Hi,

I've been doing some tests on a simplified scene here but I cannot currently reproduce the issue with the latests FP and Max 2024.



If you could let me know more details to help reproduce the issue, that would be great.

Cheers!

I'm alfo not able to reproduce it with new forest in clean scene so its not propably related only to vertex color map. Im now in a chrismass rush so its hard to do some deep tests :( but its in my todo list :)

I still did not figure out why it crashes. There must be something with the scatter items inside. However if I disable vertex paint modifier for vieport only it works.
