all of a sudden my environment isn't coming into my scene unless I change the ray bias to .001. can anyone tell me why this would happen? also what affect will the ray bias have on my scene?

can't figureout why it suddenly canged to this
VRay 1.46.15

What kind of scene are you rendering (e.g. exterior, interior...)?

Best regards,

Interior scene, I noticed that as soon as I delete all my lights and camera the environment will come in.

Bias 0.000



Bias 0.001


tell me if you can't see the images, should be fine.

Just a guess. Do you have coplanar surfaces? See if you have 2 identical meshes on top of each other.

[R2J2]

no, I had a look for that to begin with. I am using XRefs but they seem to be working fine.

[vlado]

If you wish, you can send me the scene to look at to vlado@chaosgroup.com; although it does look like a coplanar faces issue.

Best regrads,

holycow all the objects had been cloned at some stage, not something that I was looking for. so yeah eveything was co-plainar
