(Solved) Corona 2 (Final) Environment light without any light source

Corona Corona for 3ds Max Issues
1

Hi guys,

Not sure if this is actually a bug or a new feature (which can hopefully be turned off):

After updating to Corona 2 there is always an environment light in the scene, even if there is no light source / hdri / sun / no tonemapping / no camera etc.

Update: We solved it, but I want to post it anyway. Maybe it could help someone to save some time :smiley:
After turning off the HDRI (Scene Environment / Corona) it took the color slot as a light source, which is normally set on white. Turned this into black, the scene became dark.

I was wondering about this behavoir because it worked last friday in a different way (Corona 1.7.4) and was afraid of having multiplying light sources which will affect each other.

Cheers

AFAIK this is how Corona has been working always. So it’s not a new thing/feature/bug.

Yep, sounds like a normal Corona/3ds Max behavior.
