Title: [solved] corona renders only hdri and not rendering models
Post by: Moshman on 2018-01-12, 00:04:55

Pls what could be the cause of my corona not showing the objects in the scene when it renders but only the bg

Off the top of my head:

- using one of the render modes like 'only selected' or exclude/include list?
- ortho views sometimes don't render geometry, use perspective/camera instead
- geometry set to not visible or not renderable
- CoronaCam with exclude list
- materials using rayswitches with no direct visibility
- visibility track set to zero?

...can't think of anything else currently.

+ a couple more:

- renderer locked to another "empty" view than the selected.
- camera clipping activated with wrong distance

I'm sure there are more potential causes. If one of the mentioned doesn't nail it, then please upload the file so it can be examined. Right now it's sort of: "My car doesn't work. What could be wrong?" :)

Well the issue is not with the scene. I have tried rendering many corona test scenes I have worked with in the past. I have also reset settings to default but still the same.

I guess you should post one of those that don't work for you and see how they work for other people. It's really hard to help out with no info at all.

How could this work? Those objects were Vray proxies?
