Hello and thanks for the chance to ask a question that has been bothering me for a long time.
I use Maya 8.5. I know its not new but still does more than I'll ever use it for so it's fine. I use the 64 bit version with Windows 7. It runs like a dream until I start to color my geometry. Simple solid colors created in the Hypershade using the standard Blinn, Phong or Lambert shaders. I will apply a color to a face, or series of faces, when Maya randomly crashes, giving it's famous Fatal Error message. I have to launch Maya again, apply the color again and it may or may not work. If it does work, it then crashes on another surface instead.
My prefs have been reset to eliminate that possability. My geometry is clean, have no issues with that. I don't know what to do anymore with this. Everything I do is smooth as silk until I start to color.
Thanks for any help that can be offered.
