Background hdr image is covering up model when rendered Making Gold object but background hdr image is covering up model when I render. I am using cycles render and am trying to make my object have a gold appearance so I uploaded an hdr image in the world tab but now this image is the only thing I can see when I render. What should I do?
Without a .blend it is hard to say for certain what the issue is. 
Here are some possible causes:


You're rendering on the wrong render layer.
You turned off your objects render visibility:
You disabled your objects visibility to the camera in the ray visibility tab.
