In reply to Dennis. It is difficult to say without looking at the scene file. If I remember correctly though, that scene has a skydome in it, so you want to turn that off. Older scenes may have a skydome object, which would block light from the EnvMap/Iray Sunlight.

Using the Abandoned Interiors: Warehouse by Stonemason. and Not using any Environment Map, my renders come our pure black. I have went over your setting many times to where I may have made the mistake but can’t find any. Any idea?

In reply to JB. That is a good question, and yes I do turn it off. I want my sunlight layer to only contain light from the sun. Sometimes, I may render that spotlight into another separate layer and then combine that in Photoshop. This gives me greater flexibility in combining different light strengths.

this is probably going to sound like a dumb question…..but do you turn off the sun-spotlight (as in, click the eye to make it gone) once you have got the iray sun where you want it?
