Good Day!
I'm trying to render with mental ray and usually the first error I get is:
Warning: (Mayatomr.Scene) : output data type "rgba_h" not directly supported by image format iff, conversion performed by mental ray
I have tried different file types such as png, tiff, targa, erx, etc... also with different combination of framebuffer such as RGBA (byte) 4x8, RGBA (short, half, float) 4x16, etc... I tried all combinations and I still get this message.
If I try without closing maya I get this 2nd error:
Error: *Fatal* (mental ray) : mental ray encountered a fatal error. The system may have become unstable. Please save the scene and exit Maya.
Even one that says that mental ray has aborted and no other warnings with these messages.
I've read that memory might be a problem but I'm no expert in this area, here are my computer specs:
Wacom Cintiq
Windows 8.1
Processor Intel Core i7-5557U CPU @ 3.10GHz
RAM 16GB
64 bit operating system
I also checked how much memory my laptop was using when rendering and it was 25% (mayority was maya); I don't know if that's a lot...
Any ideas appreciated
Thanks in Advance
