Ray Trace Render problem

Aug 11, 2012 6:43 AM

Why do I get  Ray Tracer failed to Launch part way through the render/ram preview? I have done this many times with no problem, the render or ram preview goes 2/3 of the way through and stops with the error. I just can't figure out what's going on. I have deleted layers where the render stops to see if that is the problem but to no avail. This is a project that is due Monday and I have been trying to figure this out for 2 days. Any idea of possible problems? The only thing is at the point where the error stops the render I have some PNG files, although I don't know if that is it, as I take them out and I still get the error.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You need to provide system and project information or this is going nowhere. This could be anything from a flakey graphics driver to something you do in your project.

    Thanks for reply,

     

    System Info as follows: Intel i7-920 Processor

                                          Asus P6-T Deluxe MB

                                          24 GB Ram

                                         Nvidia GTX 470 Video card (driver version 301.42)

     

    Hope that is what you need.

     

    As far as the project, it is a HD 1920x1080 29.97 15 second ad. Not sue what else you want to know.

     

    Thanks

    Have you updated the graphics driver? That raytrace stuff is hyper-sensitive to any wrong driver/ bad configuration...

    Yes, that is the most current driver as far as I know.
