Possible reasons why:
– You have no lights in your scene AND your default light is turned off in the render settings AND you have no emissive textures.
– Your camera isn’t pointed where you though it was.
– all your objects are set to not render (that lower stop light is set to red) but still visible in the viewport (top green or grey stop light). Don’t forget that a parent set to not render will not let its children render either – parent nulls are famous for this.
– You are using a 3rd party render engine – you need to use its IPR to do your test renders and not the main viewport. (or using the wrong kind of camera with a third party render engine)
– You have another view set to the render view (I don’t think this would matter but it couldn’t hurt to check)
– Your scene is so small or so large and your camera is so close or so far away and the project settings are set to tiny or huge that your camera is clipping. Or your camera clipping in the Details tab of the camera is set too high or low.
– something is being worked out and will take a while so nothing is showing up, but will if you leave it run. (things like subdivisions on displacement surfaces or calculating dynamics on high mesh objects can take a while before something starts to happen)
Does it render if you don’t use the interactive region?
You could try throwing you C4D prefs out. (you can find the path to them at the bottom of the preferences window) – C4D will generate a new one then next time it starts.
