recently i can not get anything going anymore, everything seems completely derailed, bump is showing in rendered mode but does not render in raytraced, geometry completely disappears when clicked on, or in this case the groundplane vanishes when i click on the sphere.
i have no file to share currently where the geometry disappears but maybe somebody has a clue? in the file attached the groundplane vanishes though in rendered mode
rendered
raytraced after ~300 cycles
