Quote - One workaround that helps sometimes with this problem is to check the box at the bottom under the advanced materials tab for "Normals Forward" in the Materials Room.    Last render I did had the identical problem, until I hit the "Normals Forward" box. I have NO idea why it worked, though I know why it doesn't work all the time. :laugh:  So much to keep track of!

I have normals forward. They are not reversed, they are twisted, but still towards the camera.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
