I suppose at least one of them involves a big red button written “DO NOT PRESS”? :smiley:

Did you remove a hdri environment image. Check your world nodes to see if it is showing something not connected?

I’m not using a hdri.

Pink glow like this?

Looks to me like a pink wall texture and if using denoise then that could cause a blotchy look as well but again I am just a pee-on blenderer so no real ideas other than double check what your possible textures look like with the node wrangler at each material output to see if you find anything that is a red hue that could either be causing light bounces. But again no clue.

Can you upload the blend file? Maybe that will help to figure that one out.
Btw.: Does this also happen with Blender 2.81a?


What good is checking the time?

NVM, got it.
I had to render it on a different computer, and it turns out not all of the textures were packed!

Pure EEVEE.
Title “Parts”

They knew it, but couldn’t do anything about it. Free will? Is that what they wanted? All they knew, they were part of a mysterious machine, but no-one knew exactly what it was.
