GI Pass

[mskin]

GI is selected, but MR is not doing a GI pass? what gives? the option to save a photon map is not selected, but it still isn't doing a GI pass? any ideas why?

Assuming there are GI enabled lights in the scene (and objects with GI enabled), you could try looking at the mental ray message window and seeing what it says during the render? It might give us some more info to work with?
