hi,
I’ve been using Blender for some time now, puting a 3D model into different positions, adding light and making a render of the scene. Recently it has shut down a few times when I was trying to save some renders, but I thought that was my fault (due to some unfortunate naming). But a while ago I tryied to make a render and Bleder shut itself… and won’t open again!!! :eek: There’s only an error message and no way to find out what’s wrong Any idea what’s happening? (I would reinstall it, but I’m afraid this is going to happen again so… any suggestions?)
Thanks a lot!
PS: I changed the color of the “world” (only to white), which I heard might cause problems… but why didn’t that cause the error right away?
Hi. I had a similar problem. In my case the solution was to delete the .Blog-file in the .blender-folder. Don’t know why, but it helped. Perhaps it can help you too?
stulliDPB, you’re a genius!!! Thank you so much!! (Thank you, too z3r0 d!) It’s working again =D
I wonder why it’s solved the problem… :rolleyes: but I’m extremely happy that is has done so! =D Hope troubles won’t show up every time I make a render. Did it happen again to you?
Well I’m glad it helped! I think it has to do with too many folders in your blend-file-paths. I had the problem because I had too many sub-folders. Today I have an extra partition just for blender, and never had this problem again. The .Blog-file stores the history of your folders, which is quite useful while navigating (save, open, save over, go to folder x and so on). To get this file again, create a new folder, install blender in there, and copy the .Blog-file in your native blender folder.
Regards!
