Photon map broke!

[YoyoBoy]

Not sure what happened, but for some reason I suddenly get no secondary light bounces at all when I use the Photon Map on a particular scene. Has this happened to anyone else? It was working fine before. I tried reinstalling, starting all my settings from scratch, etc. Might it have something to do with X-refs?

Here's another weird thing: yesterday when I was working on this scene (an old project that I'm bringing up to date) when I converted one material, my main wall material, to a VRay material the calc phase would take forever and everything got all washed out.

with the Photon map you can only use VRay Mat'ls, do you have any Standard Mat'l in your scene?

Sorry, I forgot about that. Man what a PITA that was. More than 200 materials I had to convert, most of which could not be converted with that utility.

Horror good luck
