Scene not rendering objects - just illuminated empty space
Posted: Sun Jun 24, 2012 2:04 am
So on two occassions in the last 72 hours, I have had scenes that refused to render objects. I have confirmed that I am not running out of memory and have not violated the 32 texture limit.
One of the scenes is of a single tree. I get a light, bluish square because my Sun is illuminating the otherwise empty scene successfully. I can see the object in the editing viewport. But it does not render, even though it is definitely not hidden. Nor is it specular with refraction = 1.
The render viewport is is set to the edit viewport I can see the object in. I cannot see it in the OctaneRender viewport either (although a view of the tree from a different angle flashes for a second before rendering starts in the OctaneRender viewport (is this a cached view of a prior framebuffer? I don't even remember render this object before).
There is no camera. The second scene is a complex archviz interior rendering from a camera. There is light via portals and rendering was working recently. All other statements about scene 1 appear true of this scene as well.
I have never seen anything like this before and am quite confused. What other reasons are there for an object that displays in the viewport not rendering?
