Why does my Blender crash every time I bake an image?

Why does my Blender crash every time I bake an image?

I unwrap a wall section, create an image in the UV editor, add a new image texture node in the node editor, etc. and hit bake and every time Blender crashes immediately. If I copy and paste the wall section into a new Blender file it bakes just fine. The wall panel by itself is about 1.5mb.

Where do I save a crash report for Blender?

After crash, macOS Crash Reporter shows a window after some time, or next time Blender is opened. Copy the text in the crash report and save it in a text file. That file should be attached to the bug report. On a crash, a file named blender.crash.txt is written in /tmp directory.

Why does Blender keep crashing in command prompt?

Crashes should never be blamed on the end user, whatever the user did punishing him with a crash and losing work is never an appropriate way to deal with things. @Vishnu_Menon try running blender from the command prompt when it crashes it may tell you about a crashlog being written that could be used to file a bug on developer.blender.org

Is there a way to recover auto save in Blender?

Every program crashes once in a while. After all, programmers are only human. But luckily, Blender automatically saves your scene to a temporary file every few minutes. To get to these auto saves, just reopen Blender and go to File > Recover Auto Save.

How big is a texture file in Blender?

The walls are textured with images, normal maps etc The whole file is about 28mb. The 4 walls are separate meshes, and I am trying to bake the textures one wall at a time.

What kind of CPU does a blender use?

Using 2.79, Cycles, CPU. This may be standard practice but it works for me so I wanted to post it here. It seems that Blender looks at the render layer settings when baking. I have a bunch of detail in my file (wall framing, interior trim, furniture etc.) that doesn’t effect the baked texture on, for instance, exterior walls.

How does render baking in Blender save time?

Render baking creates 2D bitmap images of a mesh object’s rendered surface. These images can be re-mapped onto the object using the object’s UV coordinates. Baking is done for each individual mesh, and can only be done if that mesh has been UV-unwrapped. While it takes time to set up and perform, it saves render time.

Why does Blender say ” no valid selected objects “?

Blender either crashes on latest version. or says this on older versions: “No valid selected objects.” When i have it on the 1st layer however it does bake. but its full of hidden objects that are interfering with my bake. hence i am trying to bake on another layer. Any idea? In the bake options see if “Selected to active” is ticked ON.

Is there a problem with the new Blender?

I have a small problem with the new Blender version 2.8. I wanted to bake some gauges with pre-applied textures (digits, aluminum and some basic colors). The problem I have, is that it will not bake properly because it always gives me a black image as a result.

Why is my Blender not working with textures?

It seems as it may be related to memory corruption. The attached blend file uses several textures assigned to different faces of a mesh with overlapping uv’s.
