Resolve rendering issues with FixUtilities script.

Quite often, my colleagues were have the problem of hang or crash when rendering from 3dsMax with Vray.
Almost always solve the problem is fairly simple.
First, if you work with 3d graphics, work on 64 bit system simply required.

Why?
Because, unlike 32-bit system, the 64 bit OS works with virtually unlimited memory.
(32-bit works with a maximum of 1.6 gigabytes of memory)
Using Vista is not recommended.
Use the WinXP 64 bit or Server 2003 64 bit.
With 64 bit OS use the 3ds Max 64 bit.

If the scene continues to crash then continue.

Usually the cause of crash is one (or then all) of the following errors:

1. Objects without UVW-mapping .
2. Objects without material.
3. Objects with no Vray materials.
4. Geometry without polygons.
5. Objects with an incorrect geometry.
6. Scene is to far away from origin.

By the way, most problems can see in the Vray log.



First step – merge your scene into a new file.
If necessary move all objects closer to the center of coordinates.

To ensure that select all objects, even if they are hidden, press F11
and in the window
Enter a string
select $ *
select the line and press SHIFT + ENTER.
All objects will be selected.
Move all objects closer to the center of coordinates.
