Indigo All Black Render

[foxtrot]

Sometimes my images render nicely...and sometimes I get just a black image. What am I doing that causes black renders? I attached an sketchup file on where I get an all black render.

I'm new to Indigo and I've been playing around with the Sketchup exporter and Indigo renderer for a few days. It seems to be an awesome combination and I'm looking forward to learning more.

Are you rendering it long enough? It will be black at first and then get clearer, also, have you changed the position of the sun in sketchup? Indigo seems to only work with the default sun position; along the green axis.

I saw that you used a tungsten material for the ornament. I copied it to a new file gave it a diffuse material and it seems to work now. Still doesn't give an answer to why it doesn't work with your file though. BTW I'm on OS X.

Thanks for the tips. It's rendering fine now. I should have tried each suggestion seperately, since I don't know what caused the black rendered image.
