I am wondering if the crashes in VRay 1.6 Beta is related to the other plugins I have loaded? I have Podium, Twilight, and Maxwell all loaded in my Sketchup V8 for OSX and the same minus Maxwell in 2013, also OSX. I have unloaded VRay 1.6 at the moment as I have a client presentation and Sketchup is behaving normally again. I have very limited experience so far with VRay 1.6 due to the crashing issues, but I watched several Tutorials on Lynda.com and the Chaos website and see it has great potential to become my rendering engine of choice. I look forward to some stability in the Beta so I can gain some experience with this program. Gregg

I certainly hope you find the crash issues fast. I have several projects that I can not open now as sketchup either crashes on startup or on file opening.

Regards...

I have similar behavior with Sketchup now. I crashed out of Sketchup 8 and now the program will not open, period! Opens to a point, then crashes as it is loading the toolbars. I installed Sketchup 2013 and the program at least opens. However, when I try to open my 40MG file the spinning ball appears for a long time and then the program crashes. In general a pretty sorry experience with VRay plugin and getting logged into Chaos forums is just as horrific. I have registered, but can not gain access.
