Wilkie,
I was having the same problem as you - but it was a very nuanced issue on my computer, took me over 7 days of hard work to figure it out and to stop blaming RC for it. It was only happening in RC, not in my stress tests, etc.
Point is this software will take your machine to the absolute limit, so if there is even the slightest thing off, RC will break it. I’ve found that if it doesn’t produce a dump file, it may very well be your machine.
Other than that, it’s stable for the category of software that it is in. It’s very picky with UV maps, and will occasionally get buggy but the help is rather quick on the forums to help figure out if it is the program or something with your machine.
I can’t texture my models and am getting a dump file, but my machine also went kaput a few days ago - that’s me not being able to work on a project, but I’m used this software enough to know that I’ll fix it in a few days or someone from RC will help out if I can’t.
Long story short, my experience has been very positive with RC and CapturingReality as a company (even if you haven’t bought 7.5/15k options). Keep in mind that it’s a small team and relatively specific set of customers, so unless you are paying for the super expensive versions, there will be some waiting involved to resolve whatever issue you’re running into.
