Viewports and RT messing up

[stayinwonderland]

So this happens sometimes, where a viewport won't show anything when I use a camera:

The above shows the the viewport on the right is viewed from the camera and so is the viewport on the left.

 

Then by swapping various views around I could finally see geometry, but the RT render looks like this:

Any ideas??

OOPS. Never mind. Problem was that my Render Frame Window had 'front' has the selected render view. So a) I didn't remember ever setting it to that and b) I didn't know that selection drop down influenced the RT render view!

 

 

EDIT: that said... now the RT view isn't picking up the sun lighitng at all. It's only rendering the dome light. Just randomly out of the blue. Any ideas on that!?
