Archicad 18 CineRender

[gpowless]

Problem encountered:
CineRender will render model for a few times then it stops. Photorendering starts in a "Preparing...0%" then "Done" without any rendering.

Anyone of the testers or Graphisoft have any ideas?

I should also note that the White Model Effect still renders. Just not full colour.

Did it show up in your render preview ?

[gpowless]

Render preview is exactly the same black. If I have a jpg background set it will sometimes flash and then blacked out again. I have made no settings changes and what is weird is the fact that it renders the 1st couple of times after Archicad is opened.

Something similar happened to me. The render window and preview was black or sometimes white, but rendering proces still got through. After it say DONE, try to save the picture on hard drive. In my case saved picture was OK. It seems that some display refresh or something similar is wrong.

Just posted similar issue under "CineRender Everything is Blue!" Wish I had seen this one but good to know we are not the only ones with a blacked out image issue.

This is hugely frustrating, I have black preview and render, even when I save the render it still is just black. Is it a graphic card problem or what? Nvidea 570 Twin Frozr. I can't paste pictures into Archicad either, once I click outside to place the picture it just disappear... separate issue I know but I think it is graphic related? Help!?

Do you have the sun and/or lamps and/or materials turned on in the renders settings dialogue?
Are you using a pre-set scheme or are you customising your own settings?

The same scene just opened on another computer without any changes, renders fine. It does not matter how I do the settings or use a preset, it stays black. So the only thing that I can think is a graphics problem, but why and how do I find the actual problem that is causing it?

If you think it might be the video card then make sure you have the latest drivers installed.
