Title: Renders turn out black after I bake the lightmix into the scene and rerender
Post by: marekete on 2019-10-12, 10:56:29

I'm new to corona and I've run into an issue I can't seem to get around.
I've put lights into my scene, and adjusted them to my satisfaction, then when I click the scene button to bake the lights, I end up with a completely black render.
Has anyone come across this before? I need help!!

Which version of Corona, which host software (including version), and which OS? Did you re-render after baking the lights? Have you checked the lights individually to see what their color and intensity settings are after baking? Are you sure you are viewing the Beauty pass, and not somehow the LightMix pass (which may or may not exist now)? What happens if you add a new light, does it show up as expected and illuminate the scene, so only the baked lights are having problems? Can you share a video of the process, or the scene, or at least some screen grabs (seeing the LightMix tab, seeing the render before baking, seeing one of the lights after baking to show intensity and color, may be useful here)?

Thanks!

Heyy,
Can you save a scene with the issue and we can see if we can replicate it for you?
