Title: Material previews are black
Post by: Pedro Finquez on 2022-04-11, 12:44:48
Hi,
So recently, this happened entirely out of the blue.
I managed to get the materials preview back last time, but I have had no luck so far.

Any ideas on what can I do?

By "latest Corona" do you mean 7 Hotfix 1, or 8 Release Candidate 4? People can interpret that different ways (or sometimes not be aware that there is another version out so think that RC2 is the latest), always best to state the exact version please.

That is a valid point. Thank you

It's Corona 7 Hotfix 1

Those are not Corona previews in the material editor. Are you 100% sure that you have Corona set as your active renderer?
If so, can you scroll down in Render Setup > Common and share a screenshot of how the "Assign renderer" rollout looks like for you?

OH MY GOD!!!

I checked everything changed the render engines and all, but never thought to check the material editor source... GOD, I feel stupid!

Thanks
