When I hit the render viewport shading, it keep displaying the normal viewport. At the beginning of my project it worked perfectly but I stopped using the dual viewport, when I came to use it the second time, somehow it didn't work. Maybe I touched something I shouldn't?

    $\begingroup$ Try "Ctrl+Alt+B"... just in case you have accidentally defined a render border $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ This little dot here below the axis is probably a render border i.gyazo.com/a9994f4c3788857b7a7318c13aadbd65.png $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @lemon you are probably right, looks like a very small render border making it look as if viewport render is not working at all. $\endgroup$

You may have paused the viewport rendering. Check if the 'pause' button in the viewport menu/header is pressed.

    $\begingroup$ Even if it was paused it wouldn't show the viewport, it would show a checkerboard image. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ For me, that was totally it. It rendered everything but it just looked like there were no materials nor lights. Thank you! $\endgroup$

I had the same problem a few days back. You must've accidentally set the render border too small to be visible hence it appears not to be rendering.

You can clear the render border by pressing CTRL+ALT+B or you can do it manually by going to the View>View Borders>Clear Render Border
