[Bf-committers] Render Crash Report

[Douglas Bischoff]

Hey all:

I had mentioned this last week before the holidays, but thought I'd 
bring it up again. Ton mentioned that the renderer is now a "work in 
process" which I understand: just don't want this particular part 
forgotten. :-)

Unified renderer OR normal renderer, rendering with any plug-in 
textures causes the following crash:

Side question from an elYsiun.com conversation... would there be any 
value in having the Render or Anim buttons spawn a renderer THREAD? 
Perhaps an option?

Just checking.
