Render error - black patches

[joshmce]

Testing out the Corona trial for the first time and it was all working great until mid way through the render it suddenly rendered a couple of black frames then the remaining frames came out as per attached with big black patches on them. Any idea how to address this issue?

Have tried reducing scene complexity and tweaking render settings slightly but nothing seems to make a difference.

thanks


Nevermind this was a silly error, backs of the lights were showing up, all solved

We'd need more info - what version of Corona is installed, mostly, and whether that's on Mac or Windows. Some idea of the scene set up would be good, e.g. a grab of a render before it goes black. Is bloom and glare enabled? Any plugins being used?

Thanks Tom, computer / Corona version below. Scene-wise attached is the frame before it starts having the issue, no bloom and glare, no extra plugins. Just some primitives, cloners, and extruded stuff, pretty straight forward scene I thought.
