Recently, I can do rendering with podium and having any bump that I want for the material. But, just yesterday, it started to crash on my Macbook pro. 
Then I tried to copy the model to a new file, still can't
I tried to built a new model, applied material, still can't
I tried to built just a room, no material then it worked
So I tried with my model again, no material, It worked fine
then I try to apply material one by one, then in the end I realized that it only crash when I use a material has BUMPxxxx
......
Help!

Please check first if this texture or the bump texture file has an extension.

.jpg, .png are typical texture extensions. SketchUp can read a texture that is missing its extension, but Podium is unable to read those textures.

so you mean, because of the missing extensions cause podium crash on my mac?
But I still can use the texture after removing the _BUMPXXX means there is nothing wrong with the extensions, rite?

I suspect that the extension is not the issue. Can you post the texture and the model you are having problems with? What bump values are you applying to the texture? If the model is too large to post on the forum, upload here: https://www.box.net/drop/Podium16/15e2926ed9
