Hi Community,

My illustrator keeps crashing whenever i use 3d effects or try to open the 3d and materials window. It was working fine, Previously i could make and use all things related to 3d. It stopped working after i tried to add materials from the free materials on adobe.com. It crashed and has been crashing ever since.

 

I already reset prferences many times and restart illustrator 2022 but it still not worked, I can't use 3d effects and metrials anymore. When I try to use 3d effects and metrial, adobe illustrator 2022 crasses and a pop up window come and said that illustrator encounter a problem and needs to close.

 

Please help me to find a solution and fix the problem.

Regards,

Easin

So you loaded new materials and then this started? The materials are probably too much for your computer's capabilities. Here's how to uninstall the materials: https://youtu.be/rxgWVkTZIYI

Could you try toggle the [Edit->Preferences]->Performance->GPU Performance checkbox. Does it make any difference? If yes, maybe GPU driver needs updating.
