What are BRDF.dds Error Messages?


General BRDF.dds Runtime Errors

BRDF.dds file errors often occur during the startup phase of iClone, but can also occur while the program is running. These types DDS errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while iClone is running. Here are some of the most common BRDF.dds runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\Reallusion\iClone 7\Bin64\SDB\BRDF.dds

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most DDS errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your BRDF.dds file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with iClone), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, BRDF.dds file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading iClone, system crash while loading or saving BRDF.dds, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying BRDF.dds to your appropriate Windows system directory. Reallusion, Inc. typically does not release iClone DDS files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer.

An incorrectly installed DDS file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
