After working on the model a bit, the renderer all of the sudden started rendering in 12 passes instead of what I'm use to seeing with threads working across the image completing the image gradually.
The rendered frame window stays completely black until one pass is completed, shown in the attached image, rather than threads showing up and seeing the incremental final gather calculation process. resulting images are very dark images that get more and more details filled in with each pass.
I'm not sure what setting I changed, but I reset the renderer to see if it would solve the issue but did not work.
Can anyone help me find how to change the rendering method back to the 1 pass method??
Thank you,
Louis
