Hi, I have recently came across a glitch(!) and wanted to see if you guys have come across it and/or if there is a fix for it... Here is the link to the picture that shows the problem I am having.... http://img465.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture019pb.jpg picture on the left is not rendered and looks ok.... however, when I render the image I get the black shades!! There is probably a setting that would fix this problem but not too sure which one!! Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Happy New Year Cheers vxg139
