Hi all I'm running 2x gtx780s and I'm running into a render issue. I'm rendering water... (an under water shot), In the IPR window the water shows up fine with refraction, waves.... the whole deal and yet when I send it to render the frames are black....well there is a little movement to be seen from the waves but for all intensive purposes the renders are black. I have included the IPR render for reference as well as the rendered file. As the renderer is calculating it's passes the final frame looks good but as soon as the render is complete I get this black\dark image. I'm guessing it's just a simple thing I've missed during setup, does anyone have ideas on what I've missed?

Cheers,

Alley

You need to set all the Lightwave color space functions to Linear (disable all LW color space functions). If you have the LW color space functions enabled, IPR can be corrected by the LW color correction while the final render not.

With the LW color space functions disable all your renders are going to be black, so you are going to need to add more exposure time to your scene.
