Title: Interactive viewport looks darker than final render
Post by: flatpaz on 2020-09-30, 00:31:06

Hello!
Since I installed the corona renderer 6 and 7 (Daily Builds) I have had this bug that occurs when pressing the interactive viewport button. the image looks darker and different than when I render in the regular interactive rendering or in the Cinema 4D render window. Which has slowed down the work when it comes to making some adjustments to the scene.

I have tried changing the settings and testing one by one but the result remains the same, also disabling the tone mapping and other camera settings.

This bug occurs even when creating a new scene.
Thanks for your attention. I'm looking forward to your reply.

Hello,

can you send a simple scene over to check your render/camera settings? (Placing it here in the reply should be sufficient if it is a small scene.)
Additionally, can you try rendering my very basic scene if you are running into the same issue? It will be attached under this reply.

Thank you,
Jan

Hi Jan! I am rendering the scene you sent me. the render settings I set by default to check if it solved my problem but it didn't.
Thanks for your reply

That is odd, as this scene is rendering identically for me in both interactive viewport and VFB. (picture attached with just different corona material on the cube)
Can you please send a screenshot of your Preferences? (Corona>Preferences)

Thanks,
Jan

Hello again,

please, check your Preferences, view tab. Display color mode should be as sRGB to be consistent with render profile.
Attaching an image of Preferences setup.

Let me know how this goes,
Jan

Hello Jan!,

I've tried everything but the interactive viewport never stop looking a lot darker than the other render methods, I reinstalled corona renderer but it doesn't fix it. but I find the solution by uninstalling cinema 4D and the preferences folder (previolsly backed up), and now it works just fine.

Thank you for your time Jan
