Hi,
The first few things I would check are the following:
- Please quit every other application and background process, and try starting ARCHICAD (and rendering) again. A lot of times such errors can happen if for some reason the Anti-virus blocks the cinerender components from running. You can verify that no other application is interfering like this. If that is so, you will just need to find what application interferes, and resolve the conflict (e.g. with the Anti-Virus, you just need to put the entire ARCHICAD folder on the whitelist).
- You should also try completely uninstalling ARCHICAD, and then reinstalling it, but this time without any other application running in the background. The Anti-Virus can also block components during installation, so it is possible that some things are simply missing from your computer, because the installer couldn't place them (or the AV removed them instantly after installation).
- There was an issue with the cinerender engine before because of a missing system DLL. Check this article for further help on this!
Let me know if any of the above helped! If not, we can take a different direction.
