Here's an interesting problem. I ran this scene today with a clock starting
at 0.1 and ending at 1 and a total of 10 frames. The scene ran fine through
all ten frames. I then changed the final frame to 150, and the scene crashed
MegaPOV 5.0 after the 11th frame. Then I tried to run it with only 10 frames
and it crashes after 6.
After rebooting, it crashed after 1 completed frame of a 10-frame render!
Very odd
behavior! Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
Thanks,
D.
