MaxtoA 4.3.1.20 GPU Renderer crashes 3ds Max 2021 with Tyflow ...Arnold CPU render works fine!

[patrick.proier]

I working on a Tyflow VFX shot in 3ds Max 2021.3 and noticed that whan i want to render the animation the GPU renderer crashes 3ds Max. The Arnold CPU Rendering works fine.

Any ideas?

I use 3ds Max 2021.3
MaxtoA 4.3.1.20
RTX 3090 with the newest Studio Driver 461.40
Tyflow 016108

Any chance you can provide a log? I recently used GPU with Tyflow and it was fine, although it was just a simple animation.

I think, nothing too special?

I could send the dump file of 3ds Max if that can help you?
