OK, so I'm a bit baffled by this one. I have a scene with lights and a camera. Environment is set to scene only and when I render with iray all I get is an empty render. e.g. a transparent image.
yeah it's bizarre. I'm at work at the moment, but when I get home I'll try and take some screenshots and show some of the settings if I can.
UPDATE - RESOLVED
I've just logged into my machine at home to see some of the settings again and think I've figured it out. It appears that I had moved the camera down to below ground level to render a dramatic angle. I've just moved it back to Y translate of 0 and it works! Doh.
I am wanting the low angle render but I am running into this same problem. Is there a fix that still allows me to have this desired low angle?
@jalillich I'm a total beginer in daz but moving camera and the model above ground level helped ;) (I do not render whole scenes though, only the model)

So there is a model of some kind in there?

I'll have to remember that for next time.
Thanks for the reply though Richard.
I render the inside of walls a lot. It's not just you I-stowe ;)

For low angle shots below the ground plane remember to switch OFF the "Draw Ground" option in the Render/Environment panel. (Gets me every time)
