are you rendering both front and back faces? possibly the back faces are coming through and obscuring the front.
 
close together faces, apart from giving problems with depth sorting, can hammer render times I've found in the past.

Hi folks,

 

I’m animating pages of a book (using IK chains) and so need to check ‘Deformation Motion blur”.  Only trouble is that the cluster material on the B side of the pages goes black - huh ?!?!  

 

I can workaround this by making a texture for A and B sides in one image and redoing texture projections, but wondered if anyone else has found this? is there a fix?  Or is it just another case of avoid cluster materials at all costs!

 

Cheers,

 Olly xxx
