Do you have alpha channel turned on? With alpha turned on, backgrounds will render black to allow for compositing afterwards. You can do a search for alpha, it's been discussed several times before.

If you open it in Studio and render what happens? Could you please upload the mxs instead? Perhaps the HDR lighting is not set up correctly in Cinema.

Here is the MXS file.

Seems to work ok here:
Are you getting a completely black render or it renders black just on the glass part?

I'm astonish! I spend so many time… with no result.
It's only the part behind the Glass and the part in the sthere reflecting the sky.

C4D plug 1.6f
Studio 1.6

Studio works very badely. Crash very often. Open GL not working well.
I can't render a sequence from c4d. (I can send you the file i if your interresting) For this problem I wrote to maxwell after the patch 1.6.1 to tell maxwell it wasn't fixed.
Thanks
