I have made a simple scene of a table with a customized wooden top.
Looking at fire it gets the effect i want. when i press render some part of the render becomes all black.
Anybody with any idea how to resolve?

Could you please upload a zipped copy of the 3DM, any external MXMs it uses, and any textures, to dropbox or similar? This is an engine issue, apparently due to some problem with the material, and it has been seen before, but I do not think it is easy for the core developers to reproduce, so that is why I am asking for a copy of the scene. As for working around it, I think it may have something to do with SSS in one of the materials. From the Fire image, it looks as though you have some geometry with one material, enclosed by some other geometry that has an SSS material.
