Render To "Blender" Crashes Blender 2.79

[jzazbert]

When using the default render setting asking Renderman to render to Blender (instead of It), Blender 2.79 (release, RC1, RC2) crashes, and leaves this error at the command line:

Error: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

I have tested this on both Windows 10 64bit and Linux Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit, and both have the same issue.

What is your CPU type?

[jzazbert]

i7-7700k for the windows 10 machine, i7-4850mq for the linux machine. This also occurred on an older i7 960 running windows 7.

Hi Brian, I'm facing the same issue. Blender 2.79(latest release) crashes when "Render To" parameter is set to "Blender".

Error: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

I'm running Blender 2.79(latest release) with Renderman v21.5 on Windows 10 Intel Core i7 6700HQ

Hi Brain! Same here. Running on OSX 10.12.6, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015), 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB.
When rendering with IPR it works but when rendering it normally it crashes.

Cheers!

Do see a couple of crashes with RIB-gen also when rendering via Tractor to It. During RIB-gen suddenly the Blender window will quickly close. Blender 2.79/CentOS7/Intel® Xeon(R) CPU E5-2687W 0 @ 3.10GHz × 32. Can try to identify more what is going on.

I'm seeing the same with RM 21.6 and Blender 2.79 on MacOS 10.13.2 (2016 15" MBP with TouchBar, 2.9GHz i7-6920HQ, Radeon Pro 450 2 GB). Blender's crash log is attached...

No it is crashing on the Blender tutorial file for me from the Pixar site. It is Not Fixed at all...
