[Crash] Pushing the limits

[nektares]

Hey skatter fellas! i don´t know if my computer can´t take it anymore or if it´s sketchUp or my videocard, or maybe skatter itself. but when i try to edit or render again this scene (a 300x300 meter mountain) with grass, 6 types of trees and some clovers it crashes. just trying to open thea tool makes SketchUp crash. so i was wondering of some of you could download it and try to open the skatter file to see if it´s related to the amount of instances and help Thomas with development.

keep aware that instances wont render since they are referenced to the files on my HDD. but just to check if it´s related to the graphic or sketchUp display capacity and it´s not my pc

feel free to play with the file if desired.

cheers!

It crashes for me too when I try to render or open Thea tools. I'll ask Thomthom to look into the bugsplats.

I have already fixed the issue in internal builds. This is certainly a good test model. I hope my 12GB of Ram will be enough

There is a workaround for the bug. Start a new model, open TheaTool and then go to File/Open. The model will most likely load all right.
