Title: HDRI doesen't work when rendering using PhysCamera
Post by: PrimaVodka on 2017-12-21, 21:33:53

Whenever I try rendering with an HDRI and using my physical camera it doesen't work. However, if I switch to Perspective mode it renders just fine, but it looks a bit unrealistic. I'm super confused. This only happens with HDR's btw. Using CoronaLight or CoronaSun works just fine.

Your exposure and/or intensity of the HDR are too high.

could be caused by "install exposure control" button were accidentally pressed..
but simplified scene or related screenshots will be helpful.

How can it be so? I just left it as is. When I use Vray (which I normally do) leaving it as is just produces a darker render, but atleast it renders something, and I use the same HDR's that I have used in previous projects. When I use corona, all I can see is blackness and a very very very faint outline of something white. But I would like to try and turn it down. How can I do so?

Managed to get it working. Just used VrayHDRI instead, since I also have that. But thanks for the help anyways ^^

afaik vrayHDRI is already planned to be fully supported since Corona is now part of chaosGroup family :)

Maybe the physical camera here was rendering an orthographic projection instead of perspective view? In such case the hdri won't work, it's the same if you stay outside of a camera and just render an orthographic view (e.g. press T, L, F,...).

Also, please do not use VrayHDRI yet. It is known to cause some issues which are hard to catch, such as flickering in animations.
