hey! something has happened to my render settings! I was going to do a standard render with GI and now -whatever I do- the photon dots are all white and everything else is black! what di d I do? somebody help-! Im a real beginner but it doesnt seem to have to do with any of the usual options.

are you sure you're not viewing the alpha of the render?

Sounds like either your GI photon radius is too small or the overall scene scale is too large.
What do you mean by 'usual options'?

err...by the "usual options" I meant the basic stuff to get GI going; the photon options in light attr. and gi radius and accuracy.
hmm. Ill check that stuff about the scene size and radius (the last I dont get but anyways?). thanks!
