Render elements problem

[raterry]

Does anybody know why I am suddenly having a problem when trying to render the reflections pass? In Render Elements I added a reflections pass, set it to render over the weekend. I get back this morning and the reflections pass is there but the actual render looks just like the reflections pass. I've done this many times but maybe not using Mental Ray, that's the only thing I can think of that is different. I hate to think I wasted 7 hours render time for just a reflections pass. Ideas?

Thanks.

I figured it out. Seems there is a Mental Ray option I need to check in order to get the "real" render as well as the passes.

In the "processing" tab on MR renderer there is a Render Elements area.

 

"Render Final Image—When on, renders a final, “beauty” pass in addition to the separate elements. When off, renders only the elements. Default=off.

 

I guess important for MentalRay noobs to know so they don't waste time like I did.
