Was just following the Material & Shader Setups video from the inlifethrill site… I created a space with openings and covered them with polygons and applied a Portal material - normals facing inwards… When the scene renders without portals, the sunlight enters the space and hits the back wall, but when I render WITH portals, the sunlight no longer hits the back wall. Any ideas why this might be…?

No portals…

With portals…

That seems to have resolved it, thank you… I wasn't aware there had been a recent update release.

C4D/Releases is the section for checking. It has a list for revisions of plugin and link to standalone. Each standalone topic has a list for revisions.
