Rendering on mac gives blank images

These are some amazing results… Very exciting!

Can you share the Porsche scene for reference?
Curious how intel Macs are performing.

The newest RH8 WIP is still not producing any renders on my machine, as posted on my question above.

Not even on CPU?

No, only the “transparent” image posted above. I am clearly missing sth here…
At least with metal the transparent image is rendered 5-6x faster.

I should note that Rendering also did not work in the previous RH8 build.

Oh, so Raytraced works, just not the _Render command?

grab the latest release… that problem was fixed recently.

I am on the newest release (Version 8 WIP (8.0.23186.12306, 2023-07-05))

Exactly

odd… working here on the same version…

post your systeminfo?

Just to be clear, this is the result I am getting:

@rudolf.neumerkel I can repeat the behavior you are seeing on my i9 MPB, completely blank renderings in both CPU and metal mode. Raytraced working as expected.

I logged this bug a while back, I added this thread
RH-73275 Rendering on Mac: blank image

Thanks!
