Problem with Vray domelight

[tricky]

I have a very large scene - this is just the (realtively simple) landscape geometry as seen through fly-over camera.

I have been playing around with the dome light as I feel it would be ideal for my external animation - I don’t want to use GI, but the ambient occlusion of a vray domelight and the area shadows of a direct sunlight. However, with the domelight, certain areas of the landscape do not render. Even in this case where I have put a vray material override map on everything.

Any suggestions?

Just seemed to have solved this. It appears that the areas of missing render are where there is duplicate geometry! Maybe this should be moved over to the Tips n Tricks forum as “a handy way to find that pesky duplicate geometry”!
