Rendering problem

[fktt]

i bet youre missing a camera or a lamp, or a lamp is way to weak if all you get is a black render.. and if you have some problems you cant work out you may post your .blend file, and i'll/someone will try to help you out and see whats wrong..

The thing is that I have a sun, and a spot-light beneath my plane (the object). Sometimes the render looks just right, but then, maybe I hit some key, and the next time I render, It goeas all black, you can see some shines in the plane and reflections work, but everything loses texture and goes black or very dark grey. I think I'd better post on my blend file.

Haha, by the way fktt, I would appreaciate If you commented on it.

I guess that you want the render to be something along this line?

I've brought the camera closer. Disabled "TEXFACE" for all your plane. The background: add texture-->load image--> map image to window. That's about it in a nutshell.

So i don't have to make and texture all the cube I made? Wow.

Well, I wanted the textface to keep showing.
As I can see, the engine escapes are reflecting perfectly.

I wanted to ask If you rendered the first second you opened the file. If you did...Was it all black (I just wanted to be sure that my blender is ok.)

your blender is fine, though just so youd know id only use the texface option if id be using blenders internal game engine, and even then using some glsl and blender materials is a better option :p

[racoon200]

Why wouldn't you use texface in the normal rendering engine...?

And today it happened again. I don't know how to fix it!
