Renders fine here. The preview in Slate shows as red at first, but if I redraw it, it changes to the expected blue (so it was just remembering a previous preview on loading).

Right now, the only solution we found is to install corona 8, uninstall it, reinstall 7 and it solves the red sky issue, but its not ideal..

Thanks, I will agree with TomG it seems that refreshing it gets the proper color, have you tried resetting your 3dsMax ENU folder (make sure to keep a backup in case you need it)? There might be a possible corruption or something affecting it. Please let me know if the issue persists.

Could it be because there is no sun in the scene at all? We are using a physical sky model, so it is expecting sun to be present and at some reasonable position.
Scratch that, it should not happen anyway.
