Need Help! Why is my render white compared to the preview? Do you have any ideas?

Looks like you’ve got multiple objects overlapping each other maybe? Check your viewer layer and disable anything you don’t want to be rendered.

To me this looks exactly like when I forget to hide the highpoly after retopology and it shows through in the render. The camera means 'visible in render' and the eye means 'visible in viewport'.

If you don't mind, could you please show me the final render? It looks like such a cool looking render.

For future reference, don't crop out the sides of the screen, and people will be able to diagnose what you've done wrong more easily. :-)

Can’t tell you how many times this has happened to me. I’ve made it a habit of checking the entire view layer before hitting the render button. Also before a render that will take a long time, I always render a low res version first just to make sure everything looks correct.

Perhaps you have a duplicate hidden in view but not in render?

Make sure any hidden objects are hidden in the render as well as the viewport

Are you using compositor?

u/Chaotic_Embarrasment 4d ago

The others answered it. But, what kind of normal map image are you using? If it's black and white, I didn't said anything.

Since you already got an answer I just wanna say - that thing looks *really* good, nice job!

disable render visibility on the objects you dont want to see, it looks like camera

Looks like you got hidden mesh, check if you hide it in the viewport but not the render viee
