Bug on Export resulting in crash for Houdini 10 HD

by Scott Peal · in Artist Corner · 08/22/2009 (1:28 pm) · 1 replies

I got the following bug while attempting to export a lamp to DTS:

Microsoft C++ Runtime Library
Assertion failed!
Program: ...
File: c\cygwin\home\prisms\dev_tools\...\DTSOut..tream.h
Line: 432
Expression: (endpos - pos) == (std::streampos)(4*Used32 + 2*Used16 + 1*Used8 + 16)

Basically this contains two objects; the lamp base and the lamp shade. The materials are located in two nodes above these objects and are 512x512 textures. The objects are triangulated. And the crash is repeatable after reloading the scene. All defaults are used in the exporter settings except the path of the output file. There is one detail level. No dump file is created.

Who should know this? GG or S_FX

Turns out that I added a directory to the output file path that was not currently in the system. I was hoping that the exporter would auto create the new folder. Guess not.

Once I removed the non-existing folder name from the output file path, the export worked file. Case closed.
