If you haven't done so already, please send us a bug report about this. We haven't seen an out of memory error yet.
The RT render does not show a progress bar, because generally if you are using RT, you are trying to tweak materials or lighting, rather than producing a final render. It can produce a final result after a while, but generally it's used for previewing.
We have no known issues with Windows 8, and yes in the video the OS was most likely Windows 7.
Hi devin, thanks for the reply.
I think I found what was causing the memory crash.The file that was crashing had lots of ligths(spots and rectangular) from vray 1.49.01.
I tryed to render another file that I have, almost the same size as the one that was crashing(65MB), but with no ligths, only the phisical sun and sky,and high quality settings, and there was no crash. Actually the render was faster and had better image quality with same settings that 1.49.01.So it seems that the lights, at least rectangular and spots are not fully compatible.
I had no time to change all the ligths from the other file,to do a new test, but as soon as I can I'll post the results here.Other issue is that the RT is not updating the sun and sky position, but materials and camera are updating fine.
About the bug reports, I think there was a post already in this thread saying that an error occurs when trying to send it.That's happening with me as well.

the post I made about sending bug reports says the bug reporting tool isn't working well at the moment for some people, so email is the best way to submit a report to our bug tracker. SketchUcation is NOT the place to report bugs for our product if you want us to actually fix them. We also don't want bug reports in the Chaos Group forums. Forums are a horrible place to sort out bugs. Threads get sidetracked/lost/confusing... oh it's a nightmare! So please send us an email with bug reports. If you want to give fellow VfS users a heads up about a problem, and discuss a bug on the forums, by all means, go ahead. If you're trying to tell myself, or Joe (the other VfS developer) about a bug, we need a bug report or else more than likely it's going to be lost. The email address for bug reports is vfswip@chaosgroup.com

no worries, I just wanted to stress the importance of it. In the past we have had a very confusing mix of feedback sources, which ended up wasting a lot of time. We want to really tear through this beta at the highest efficiency that we can.
-
By the way, will there be multiple beta releases during these three months, or do you plan to adress all the bugs for the future proper release ?
-
there will be multiple beta releases prior to a final release.

glad I can help. Sorry I'm not able to be on here more often. We have a bit of work ahead of us yet. Keep the comments and reports coming though! They are a huge help!

I think we all prefer you working on the next beta release than lurking SCF all day long !

Do you have any other render engines installed?

Yup me to on my Home Laptop, I deleted everything, plugins the works. Then installed SU 2013 and Vray Beta 1.6 and the same problem happened. Crazy thing is its not happening on my work computer. Ive sent a bug report.

There's a very painful bug with SU8 where some materials applied from the SU material palette cause an immediate bugsplat. SU7 and SU2013 do not have this problem.
One way to avoid the problem is to right click on the material and select the option "add to model", then you can use the material.

Oh yes they do. Read my post above. I did a clean sweep, installed 2013 and no other plugins other than Vray. I just can't seem to fix it. I've tried alsorts of things.
-
Dunno, I've tried it with both SU7 and SU2013. I get crashes in 2013, but not consistently like with SU8. As in, I can apply a material from the SU palette and it doesn't crash immediately like with SU8. However, I gave up on 2013. I was getting all sorts of random crashes. I have actual work to do, so I removed 2013, I just don't have time to deal with this $h!t

There was a discussion thread with dkendig and valerostudio on the CG forum a little while back where this was elaborated on. For whatever reason, this error surfaced in SU8 only.
-
It was a SU observer bug. The Maxwell guys actually reported it before I was able to, but I did give them a high five for reporting it.

Vray 1.6 is good..
but whenever i start sketchup it produce bug splat ..
without vray 1.6 it works fine
.. please some one help -
sounds like a faulty install. Be sure that SketchUp and XMLDRSpawner processes are not running when you try to install the 1.6 beta. Also be sure that the license server isn't running. DO NOT UNCHECK ANYTHING when installing the 1.6 beta, and if you are prompted to restart at any point during the installation, do so immediately, do not click "No" and continue the installation. After the restart you will need to run the installer again most likely, because Windows had to remove some files that were locked during the attempted uninstall process.
