I am facing exactly the same issue i.e python crashes when using render pipeline even when i run the render pipeline samples , whereas regular panda render pipeline as well as regular samples works flawlessly , My laptop specs are corei5 , 4gb of ram , 500gb H.D space and intel HD5500 graphics card , i compiled Panda3d myself from source code and have all the pre-requisites i.e VisualStudio2010 with latest patch applied as well as microsoft windows SDK 7.1 .
Can someone guide me as what exactly is happening and how to resolve the issue i.e python crash when using render pipeline.
thanks in advance !!
