Hi, I got this error quite allot a while ago on a project, unfortunately I don't think you'll find that adding the requested missing channel will fix the problem, it occurred for me randomly and always when you try to render, it seems to only occur in large scenes and also I think it is related to large scale geometry, planets, large sections of life scale landscapes etc, also I think it has something to do perhaps with overlapping or co-planar geometry, some fixes I found that worked only sometimes are : slightly moving the camera angle (not always possible) , trying to adjust the position of large planes or primitives and particularly objects which may be co-planar trying to separate them, scaling the whole project down x10. the best I can come up with is it is some kind of precision error or something, try also perhaps saving and reloading just the objects, animations etc into a new project with a different scale.
It is a very frustrating problem, hope you can find a solution, I have a feeling I had another fix but it slips my mind at the moment also, if I remember I will post again.

I remember it had something to do with an object having to preexist in the RS scene before the realflow work was brought in, but I have not been able to figure out and reproduce the fix. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. This is just one of the reasons I didn't upgrade to v7...(nothing improved for realflow import/export/rendering). TIA, Brandon
