Hello.
I have some strange problem with F12, but only in 2.49a. 2.50 work fine…
Maybe the reason I have both 2.49a and 2.50 laying beside each other at my iMac Intel 10.6.2 dock.
When I press F12, renderwindow flash for less than one second
Having both versions in the dock makes no difference, they do not interfere with each other.
Have you selected Do Sequence or Do Composite in the render settings by mistake. Have you lights ? have you set the correct layers to render ? There are numerous things that could be doing this.
Richard Marklew. Thanks for helping. Do composite and Do Sequence was not selected. One lamp Default.
I try to change setting. Load factory settings and everything work fine??
Hello.
I think there is some trubble with my iMac Intel 10.6.2 Snow Leopard.
Today I made a test of render F12 at my Blender 2.49a.
I have default settings with one lamp camera and one cube. Do Sequens OFF. Do Composite OFF
Same trubble as last time. F12 flashing for one second before going in to solid black.
F11 renderwindow ar perfect. No problem at all.
2.50 no problem with renderwindow F12.
OK I have delay both Blender 2.49b and 2.50 from my imac.
Maybe I find out the problem. Few months ago I upgrade my iMac Leopard 34 bits to Snow Leopard to 64 bits. ( Maybe Blender 2.49b dont run with 64 bits.) I dont have any trubble with 2.50
Sorry. I going mad. I like Blender very much but this F12 problem make me mad.
I reinstall 2.49b as you told me.
I use default settings 1 cube one lamp. I selected the cube and hit F12 severel times 5-6. After I try to hit F11 and everything work fine.
Looking at your video it looks very much like the problem I’ve had on a mac with 2.49a and 2.49b http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=159800
At certain render image sizes it doesn’t show the render unless you then click the render window. I’ve not come up with a foolproof solution, just got to live with it. This problem is not present in the 2.5 builds.
Richard. OK. Yes, I dont have this problem with earlier version of blender and not on 2 50.
For me to change from 2.49b to 2.50 is a big step. I dont know anyting aboth 2.50 interface yet. I try little bit, but to much to be confused of. Can I use 2.49b interface to 2.50, probably not.
