Render problem with 4.8 (beta).....

jontaylor99

Hello guys, I've been using 4.8 (Beta) quite a lot since installing it but now I've got a strange problem, when I try to render my finished scenes it will only render up to around 53-55% then the rendering procedure suddenly goes really fast and then stops leaving me only half rendered pictures. Apart from changing the res to 16.9 HD all other settings are completely default and I have not altered anything else. This problem only started yesterday, before that I was quite easily rendering up to around 95%, has anyone else had this problem ? Or can anyone suggest what might be the cause please?

Thanks..... Jon T.

Are you using Iray or 3Delight? Are you sure there isn't some geometry, such as the wall of a room, that's cutting off the render (but not showing in the viewport - that can happen)?

Hi Richard...
I'm using 'Iray' mate, I'm not sure what you mean, how can I check if that is the case ?

Thanks....

If you don't want to change the camera angle, add a second camera to the scene and zoom it out to look at the scene from a different view or switch to perspective view in the viewport.

OK mjc, I've added another camera that did improve things a little but rendering is still stopping now at around 62%, an improvement of around 10%. I also tried adding a further two cameras in different areas but I'm still stuck at 62% which I don't understand at all because as I said earlier, at the default settings + 16:9 HD I was getting 95% render all the time.
