Title: Render is black even with lighting in room
Post by: DavidV94 on 2020-08-30, 00:20:46

Hello,

Im trying to make some interior renders of different rooms in my project. I made 2 camera POV's. The first camera renders fine with all the lights I have positioned in the room but the 2nd one doesn't. That one is totally black somehow. I've tried to increase the intensity but it is still black.

I don't know what causes this problem. I've attached a wetransfer link of the file.

Thanks in advance for helping :)

I haven't opened the scene but maybe you've put the camera inside the walls without noticing? Try to move the camera forward and see if that fixes your problem. Alternative, you can use camera clipping for situations like these.

Another case could be if you have Render Hidden Geometry active and you have some hidden object which covers your camera. So you don't see it in viewport, but it still renderable and you can't see through it with this camera.

@Bormax and Flavius

I've tried both the solutions and still doesn't solve it :(

Edit:

Found the solution, it was because of the pull down list which was on interactive light.

I used the beauty and it works fine now. I actually don't know what all those pull down options means though :S
