SOFTWARE RENDER FAILS WITH ANY CAMERA ATTACHED TO A MOTION PATH

Procedure:

  1. Attach a Renderable Camera to a Motion Path (Nurbs Circle) & Software Render
    1. Tested Fail:
      1. Intermitently Fails Software render in batch:
        1. Any New Camera, aim, aim / up
        2. With Camera under a transform node which is then attached to a nurbs circle & attached to a motion path.  Tested different camera & motion path transform node hierarchies all same result, failing software render. 
    2. Tested Success:  
      1. Deleting Camera from Motion Path
        1. Removal of camera from Group Node containing motion path constraint
      2. Allows the software render to continue without fail the entire sequence.

Solving by way of "Hiding & Deleting failed nodes" 

 

Through a process of trial & error, hiding & deleting nodes in the hypergraph reveals what geometry is faulty. 

 

Maybe this will eventually render

The problem was:

Failed Geometry in Node Hierarchy. 

Debug Node Hierarchy & rebuild geometry.
