HowTo:Fix unexpected image output

A scene will appear black if:

• You've forgotten to add a camera to your scene.

• You've forgotten to add a light source to your scene (and none of your objects have their own ambience).

• There was an error in an include file and you've pressed <Alt-G> (render) while the include has focus. POV-Ray renders the include file which either has no objects instantiated or no lighting.

• Your camera is pointing away from your scene.

• Your camera is nowhere near your scene.

• Your camera is right up close to a black object.

• Your camera is inside an object with ambient 0 in its finish statement and no light source within.
