Final Render is white

Support Materials and Textures
#1

I’m pretty new to Blender and 3D animation, I only started about maybe 2 months ago for an FBLA project, and I’ve followed a lot of tutorials. I just finished making this island using the landscape add on, and I only just made the final render, and to my surprise it has completely changed from the render that I saw when looking at it through objective mode. I have 2 textures, a sand and grass texture, and then a face mask to tell the sand where to be, and then an ocean using glass and gloss nodes. I also used a particle system for trees. I just finished animating it all and when I did the final render, the island is hovering above the ocean and has lost all textures, and the particle system also disappeared. The buildings that are still standing are buildings that I placed myself.

This is what the island is suppose to look like

And this is how it’s coming out.

Any thoughts on possible solutions for this?

My first question is if you have a displacement map in place somewhere?

I"m unsure if this is a displacement map, but I do have the mapping node on my island for the two texture images and then one for the sky.

You are aware that a few things can be set differently for viewport and and final render? Like the visibility of objects, modifiers, particle systems, number of child particles, … Maybe you should check.

Not sure why the render is turning out white. An odd setting in the render layers tab, maybe?

Otherwise it is difficult to say without seeing the blend file.

Honestly, I’m probably going to refollow the tutorial I watched and redo it, most of what I need has been done in the file so it’s just a matter of rewatching and not missing a particular step in the island process.
