Rendering Problems?

[Jase77]

Hi everyone.

Hope you are all having a good week so far?

So. I have been having an issue with the Rendering workspace recently. I have my environment, lighting and reflections set up and everything looks good and 'normal'. However, after I have run the render process I notice that it hasn't captured any of my desired environment/scene/settings. The part (in this case a vehicle) is present but none of the reflections/shadows etc.

This happens with the Cloud Render and the Local Render option. I have reset to default many times, restarted my machine, double checked all of my settings and everything looks good until I get the end result.

I was rendering this file last week and had no issues at all, so I am a bit confused as to what is happening. I even opened a completely different model that I had rendered successfully a few months ago and I am now getting the same problems with this one too. 

Is there a bug at the moment or am I missing something? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this is time critical and my customer is waiting on some feedback.

Anybody know any workarounds or other rendering software that I could use instead?

Many thanks,

Jason.

No screenshot, no screencast, no model. Not much to go by!

Hi Peter,

Well, this design is confidential, so I am limited as to what I can show at the moment. I do not feel that there is anything I can show via a screenshot that would give more explanation than my original post.

So thanks for taking the time to comment. If anyone else has any ideas, then please chip in.

Thanks.

I spend a lot of time here and also occasionally frequent the Fusion 360 Facebook group. Render errors are very, very rare and I’ve not come across any situation you described, so it’s pretty unique.

That same applies to the crashing issues You described in your surfacing model, in another thread, which I assume is still the same model you reported stitching problems with a little while ago.

Can you at least share that model with AD employees ?

I agree about the rendering. Up to this point it has been great and definitely one of the strong parts of F360, that's why I am completely stumped by this one. 

Regarding the stitching of the surface model......well I managed to get past the first issue and I was again working with a clean model, only for a very similar issue to come back. The warning messages do not give enough information for me to be able to locate a problem area to investigate.

Here's the issue again and I apologise for not being able to share this via screen shots etc.....

I have the front left hand side of a vehicle modelled. This is the bonnet (hood), bumper (fender) wheel arch. The surfaces are stitched together and clean with no warnings or errors. They are also all trimmed along the centerline, ready to be mirrored. The surfaces can be mirrored successfully but will not stitch together without a warning in the timeline. I cannot see any problems along the centerline of the two surfaces and the warning does not give me any indication what the problem might actually be.

As before, I can still work on these surfaces even with the warning in place. It lets me create fillets etc without issues. Of course, I do not want to work like this as it will keep me awake at night. 😕

This must be down to something that I am doing that it isn't happy with, so yes, I would gladly share this model with AD employees.

Thanks.

What is your stitch tolerance and does it report any gaps?

Have you checked the curvature of the edges to be stitched?
