Rhino Render / Rendering More Than One Scene

Serengeti (Rhino WIP)
1

Hi McNeel-

Having an issue with rendering more than one scene in the WIP.

I can render one scene using Rhino Render, if I try to adjust the camera and then render a new scene, it doesn’t get past “Render Ready 0 Samples…” and black screen.

Compared to the first time rendering a scene, it seems the second go round doesn’t go through all the initialization steps…ie. does not update the meshes.

My solution is to close WIP, reopen WIP and then render the scene and it works.

BTW, thank you for this new render tool, it seems to be progressing really nicely.

Best,
jvm

Could you please copy and paste text output of the Rhino command _SystemInfo ?

Hmm, I can’t reproduce with a build 5 days newer, so maybe we need to just wait for the next WIP, likely in the next 24 hours.
