Okay, so I just spent all day and night (no sleep) working on the perfect castle with Castle Creator from DAZ... It looks amazing... then I loaded EnvSphere by BB and put on a good sky texture... then I decided I didnt like the water that comes with the moat so I made my own using some of BB's techniques.

Then I went to render and it kept saying that the bump maps were missing, but they're not, I checked they are exactly where they are supposed to be... but anyway I just went through EVERY material and deleted the bump maps and added a Math_Functions > Add > 1.500000 as bump maps...

I've done this for several products that I buy because sometimes the bumps don't look as nice as I want them too or something like this happens and Poser forgets where my textures are... (I have 2 runtimes, one internal one external due to the fact that my hard drive is getting too full so I switched to installing and saving stuff on my external hard drive)...

Grr... so anyways... I set my settings up and I decided to use Nerd3D's Beach Waves 3 O'clock Lights for my scene. I made sure that RayTrace was on, had my settings a decent quality and was ready, so I rendered...

It only took 1 minute and that's because it's all blue! No clouds, no castle, no water, nothing... I'm so confused...

Please help, thanks...
