This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

Can't render?

Hello people,

I produced a few quick renders this afternoon, and I must have hit a random key or changed some settings, because I can't render anymore... The images come out in black and white only, like an alpha channel. Now, maybe this is a silly question, but I'd like to know how to fix it.

Thanks!

In the render view, look at the two icons next to the 1:1. One displays the alpha channel, the other displays RGB. You may have accidentally hit the alpha button (the one with the white circle in the black square); hit the other one (with the rgb colors) and your renders should be normal again.
