PRORENDER: Maya crashes instantly when using nParticles?

5700 xt Catalina 10.15.6

Is it a known bug that ProRender can't be used with nParticles? I would expect it to just make the render view black but I'm getting an instant crash when I go to renderer/Radeon Prorender.

My scene is a bit heavy so maybe that's why? I should have probably run this test with a lighter scene...

EDIT: I just tried it again with a simple scene and it instantly crashes still. Must be a bug.

  1. GPU?
  2. OS?
  3. Driver?
  4. Which Maya version?

5700xt, osX catalina 10.15.6, whatever driver comes with catalina 10.15.6, Maya 2020.3.

I just tried it in Maya 2019.2 and same exact issue. 

 

Create a sphere. Create an nParticle. Create instancer with sphere in nParticles. Change renderer to Prorender. Crash!

AMD Radeon™ RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT require macOS® Catalina 10.51.1 or later

Thanks for replying! There is no 10.51.1 or later version of catalina. 10.15.7 is the latest. I'm on 10.15.6. i think you meant to type 10.15.1.

I'm installing Maya on my PC to see if this causes the same issues. If it works on the PC side, i will upgrade my mac to 10.15.7 and try again. I will be back in an a few 

BTW, I really hope I can get this working! I've been getting some amazing renders and the speeds have been wonderful! I really want to be able to use nParticles and Bitfrost (eventually). I'm waiting for the RX 6900 to be available to purchase it but I need to make sure I can get at least nParticles to work. Does a document exist somewhere that shows the current bugs?

Thank you!

Unfortunately, I could not get Maya to install on Windows. I can not test it :(
