So when I preview my render using F12 it shows the color much darker how I want it.

However, when I finish rendering it comes out way brighter.

Purple on left is preview image and right is outcome of render

enter image description here

Note I am using eevee to render because my computer takes too long using cycles.

Is there a way to accurately view my final render result using eevee because it seems impossible to add proper lighting if I can't get the same result as my preview image?

  • $\begingroup$ there must be a bad setting that explains that, like a hidden light, or Color Management... $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I added an hdri, and removed all my lights and re-render and still looked almost the same as before. I just try to render image on cycles to check and it's so different than eevee, so I don't know why my eevee preview image is not matching my render $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ pasteall.org/blend/f5f0ba3d10af478bbd3c5fed2009eda1 it has a simple 5 frame animation and on preview looks darker, yet after render its still lighter $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ You haven't packed the backrgound image so I can't see the effect of the World, if I render it looks close to what I see in preview, but what I see is that in the Render panel > Color Management > View Transform, you have chosen Filmic instead of Standard, maybe try Standard $\endgroup$

In the Render panel > Color Management > View Transform, switch from Filmic to Standard:

  • $\begingroup$ so I did a new project today and switched to standard and on preview looks good, but the final render looks super bright again and makes no sense $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ maybe check the lights in the Outliner and make sure that you don't have some lights that are disabled in preview but enabled in render $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ ah i think it's just impossible to replicate the render without using cycles $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ no, it should work fine with Eevee as well, maybe ask a new question and show some screenshots $\endgroup$
