Max 5: Render to texture error

Forum
Artists

Anyone else had an issue with this feature? I click to open it and it comes up with a Macroscript error and only loads up one rollout. I'll try repairing Max and see if that fixes it.

Thanks for the reply David but it's not an issue of being able to use it properly, it's an issue of it not working in the first place. When I click on the 'Render to Texture...' menu option it starts to load then spits up another dialog box telling me theres an 'Unknown system exception'. When I click Ok for that all thats left of the Render to texture dialog box is the general settings rollout. After clicking around on that for a while it usually crashes.

Was hoping someone else had come across this problem before.

I haven't tried out this fix but I'm told that what's causing it is Win XP service pack 2, apparently if you uninstall that then it should work again.

Let me know if it does.
