Why is my Eevee viewport render different from my full render?

I’m a little confused why my Eevee render looks different from the viewport preview.

Just a bit confused here. Any help appreciated.

What makes the rendered image look dark is the volume material of the particle emitter. However, the emitter is not shown because you have to enable “show emitter” in the particle options :slight_smile: Unfortunately, the “show emitter” checkbox doesnt have influece on the viewport so you always need to double check if it’s turned on or off.

@eaNiiX - Gah, GAAAAAH I should have thought of that. I didn’t know that ‘show emitter’ didn’t affect the viewport, however, that’s interesting to know. Thank you so much.


(…I don’t suppose you know anything about fluid sims? I have a question about that which has been hanging around…!)

no problem :slight_smile:
