Arnold RenderView not displaying render

[adamodonnellcg]

Hi I'm having a really frustrating problem with Maya/Arnold today. In every scene I open the Arnold renderView is rendering Black, no RGB or A. My different scenes were working fine just this week, I've not installed anything other than a IBM Aspera Connection software yesterday which I've now unistalled.

The normal RenderView renders the image fine but the Arnold RenderView is black, it looks as if its rendering as I get a percentage at the bottom but no image?

I've created a new scene, with just a sphere, and an arnold area light and turned up the exposure. Still no luck. Any ideas what could be happening here?

Maya 2020

MtoA 4.2.1

Arnold core 6.2.0.1

CPU AMD 5950x

GPU nvidia 3090

Can you screengrab the render view? Does re-installing MtoA fix it? What does the log file say?

Hi Lee thanks for replying so fast! It turned out it was the same issue as the person in this video. https://youtu.be/icRxCF-82yA

Enabling AOVs fixes it, but I've never had to do this in the past. I haven't updated to the new bitfrost so maybe this also helps.

Love your work by the way 🙂
