My Maya Software Render is currently rendering properly. However, whenever I try to use the Maya Hardware Render (2020.2), the render just returns a black image and renders almost instantly.
This was not always the case, and I'm not sure what has been configured to make this happen.
the problem ended up being the near clipping plane.
Visually the near clipping plane was not near the object, however camera was child of another node which was scaled, so this apparently also scaled the near clipping plaen.
