Anybody run into this?

It's been a while since I've used the InfoChannel to render layers, but in a recent render the layer is black (using ObjectID). It renders fine in IPR and in the F9 preview window, but when final image comes up, it's black. When I F10 render all the images are black. Seems a setting maybe?

Hmm, I'm not sure what could be the problem. Can you send me an example scene to reproduce this problem here?

Thanks,

Yup! On its way.

Ah, I think that I understand the problem now. Can you please disable the denoising options? The problem can be that the denoising is not compatible with the Infochannel kernel, the same that happens with the PMC kernel ...

Thanks,

I'll give that a try, but the problem seemed to fix itself when I came in this morning (don't ask me how, have no idea, it just rendered). I'll check to see if that's the culprit.

EDIT: Looks like that was it. The reason is started rendering again was because (I assume) I started rendering without the InfoChannel and used Path Tracing again (although at first it didn't render yesterday when I tried it). THANKS!

Thanks Juan.
Can confirm I just had this issue in Cinema 4D and turning off the denoiser and 'resend all scene data' fixed it.
