Empty extra texture creates black render in beauty pass

[liamchapple]

Just wanted to share a problem that I came across but have fixed incase anyone else has similar problem.

Basically I had an extra texture render element with nothing plugged into the slot. This made my beauty render pass and several others come out totally black but with an alpha.

It had me baffled and only figured it out with a process of elimination, after half a day!

Anyway, thought someone might find that useful.

If you keep the scene around, it would be useful if you can send it to me at vlado@chaosgroup.com so that we can fix it. Other than that, I could not reproduce this in a simple test.

Best regards,

I just had the same issue. A little bit annoying if you render a whole night. Of course you can use the passes, but a fix would be appreciated.

If you have the scene, can you send it to me at vlado@chaosgroup.com ? I still can't reproduce this so I don't know what to fix.
