Title: Compositing Tag render black
Post by: Barendby on 2019-01-29, 10:02:46

When I add a Corona compositing tag to an object and tick the "Cast Camera" so the item does not cast shadows it renders pitch black.
Any way to get the item to render correct but without shadows?

Like so? Also, is your colour tint set to white in the render settings?

Thanks for the quick reply.
Ok, I tested more, using a corona material on the object with the compositing tag work as desired, but having a corona light material on it does not work.


I just realized I am probably using the wrong material here :)
If I have a view in the distant (archviz) I usually just through a corona light material on it so I can illuminate it as desired and it looks good in the distant. I just used a normal material with self illumination and it works.

using a light material on the object will work, just not using the compositing tag but rather deactivate the "occlude other lights" in the material.

THANKS for the help!!
