IRay is rendering black (and I'm not using a skydome)

My IRay is rendering black. I'm not using a skydome. I was working on an image, and it was rendering normally, then all of a sudden, my test renders became black.

I'm using IRay materials through-and-through, and I have the lighting set to scene only. My lights are all high enough Lumen that I should be able to see.

I don't know what's going on or what I can do to fix it.

    Is it possible that the camera got moved inside something? I've done that a time or two.

    I've moved the camera quite a bit in an attempt to fix it and it was black the entire time.

    I just restarted my computer to see if that would fix it but nothing changed.

    It sounds like you switched your "Render Mode" from Photoreal to Interactive.  Mesh lights will not work in Interactive mode.

    I had the same problem yesterday after a display driver crash. Suddenly all my renders are black, spot render is black, Iray preview drags forever with no textures loading. Looked at my advanced render settings and my graphics card is not listed in the iray devices. A reboot fixed the display driver issue, and all working fine again.

    Try a brand new scene with a simple primitive and one type of the base lights you normally use. Test for normal operation comoletely separate from your trouble scene. If it starts working, then there's something in that scene and you can avoid spending time looking elsewhere.
