cineRender by Maxon add-on unexpectedly closed.

[mi_jan]

Everytime I Render a view it starts calculating the cgi and then it gets stuck at preparing 5.6%, eventually it says its finished but its not. When I open up render settings again I get the following error message

"Warning, cine render by maxon add on has unexpectedly close Archicad should be restarted. "

p.d. It happens with the custom rendering scene I have been using for the past year and also archicads default render scenes

I can't render at all, the preview comes out in the render settings window but the actual image does not. I tried Marquee with several areas of the project but still no luck.

Error message window prompted when I click on the preview or on the render button in the render settings panel after the initial render try

i am having the same trouble in archicad 20 build 5011. when i choose to preview or render a scene that message pop up

i think everything happened after installing adobe premiere. have you found a solution so far ? . i found if set CineRender.exe to run as administrator (right click> compatibility>change setting for all users ) at least it stopped giving another error for maxon engine on startup

Jan's problem was fixed by unchecking the Grass Setting in C4D.
He was using a preset that had it on and since he had an area about a mile long with grass C4D was hanging while processing all of those grass blades.

i have been trying for so long.
So far the only thing worth mentioning is that windows system restore works !!!

Unfortunately on my other pc system restore was disable.
for that pc i have tried everything. uninstall, repair, copy cinerender folder from my working pc ,no grass enable dejrolon - thanks for trying to help- nothing . when trying to preview a render or choose to render the message " CineRender by MAXON add-on has unexpectedly closed." appears and suggests to restart archicad

p.s i also noticed that cinerender.exe doesnt run in taskmanager> processes even before i try to make a render, while on my restored working pc its there the moment i launch archicad 20.
help

update :
ok i think i found it after a long long struggle.
i think after reinstalling repairing Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013
which i downloaded directly from microsoft the problem was solved. now cinerender loads in the background and preview and rendering with maxon engine work fine .

Same problem, but Visual C++ 2013 and Visual C++ Redistributable Package repair didn't help.
Any ideas?

This has been more than a year and half old, no one seem to have a fix for it? It suddenly happend with me.

Everything was fine and I was rendering stuff in a White Model and than Normal, and it had no problems.

After this I wanted to render something else and it kept failing and so I installed the latest update for ArchiCAD 21 and NOW I get this error too.

Any solutions? I tried what I've read here.

Hello Jver,

I think this problem should either come down to
- the RAM not being enough (the model is too detailed), so try to render a much smaller area first, and see if that helps.
- or a known issue with cinerender in general. You can read more about it here.

Let me know how it went.

We're now having issues with this too, in AC21, build 6013. I have a case open with Graphisoft Support, but thought posting here might help too.

Our issue appeared after installing a few other bits of software, yet running the Microsoft redistributable didn't fix it. It's not our antivirus either - disabling that temporarily has no effect.

Has anyone found any other solutions?

Have you tried Daniel's suggestion: render a small area first (use marquee tool in 3D to mark out a small area) to rule out if it is caused by running out of memory due to too complex model.

The original poster problem was due to having the 'grass' effect on for a very large size terrain, for example, which will cause memory issues.
