Max Geometry Won't Render

TomA · April 30, 2009

Hi,

I modelled some terrain in CAD and imported it into Max, and did a few simple renders with Vray and everything was fine.

I'm assuming this is a Max issue though and not Vray specific?

Then all of a sudden it stopped rendering properly, i.e. it just renders the window grey and not any of the terrain geometry.

It happened after I started using the camera match helper. I don't know whether that's a coincidence?

See links below.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Tom

make sure your rendering in the correct view port, not like a side or top view (trust me, ive done that in the past!!)

does the object render in a perspective view?

No it's the same in all viewports.

right click and check that in the object properties that "renderable" is ticked.

also, check the alpha to see if anything shows up.

try creating a box, and see if that will render.

I think it might have something to do with memory re RAM used when using background images in the viewports?
