As it says, I imported a wire file and hit M to open the matl. Lib. It hangs and becomes unresponsive. I tried opening Keyshot again, and without a math file loaded I hit M again with the same results.
One or more of your material files is bad. Move everything out to a temp folder, then move sub folders back in until you get the crash. After determining which subfolder the material is in, do the same with the individual material files.
:(
hmmm wonder how that happened. Its a fresh install... I've been running it on my PC and just added it to my laptop...
...well, that was just my guess. I've seen the problem about a dozen times with ~20 users over the last 3 years - but never with a fresh installation. It usually happens when moving from one version to another, or when opening an old package.
Another wild guess: When you imported that wire file, maybe KS added a material it found in the .wire? (we pretty much just use KS on Maya files here, so I don't have much experience importing Alias)
Yea, maybe. Its a good place to start figuring it out. ;) Thanks for the heads up.
Let us know what you find out. Just curious, was KeyShot working fine on your laptop until you imported a particular Alias file or was opening the material library always an issue on your laptop?
