Hi Ron

I have been trying to rerender my old pics in SP. Anything with a HF and
layered textures crashes. They all have normals set greater than 1.

Anychance of looking at it?

Mick

Yes, I have your demo source.  I've been especially busy the past few
nights, but I'll make an effort to track it down tonight.

Believe it or not, the crash in your scene is a bug in the official
3.1g as well; it just doesn't manifest itself in the official version
for your scene (or in the debug version of my code, which made it fun
to try to track down.)  For more info, see this message in
