Render Coming Out Black

Hey so I’m using the paint rig on blender and when I render the image it is black. Here are some screen shots. I’ve tried adding lights and such but nothing seems to work. Also I have a HDRI.


If you go to the properties menu (Shift-F7), and then click on the materials tab, there you should check the ‘shadeless’ box.

If that doesn’t work then go to the properties menu and change the emit value under the shading category to a value in the range 0 and 1. Then gradually change this emit value to get expected shading of the object. To do so you have to render the view several times

Then just find the properties menu, and continue on with the steps.

I don’t see a tab that says materials.

Try the second method, I stated. The first one is an old method I remember doing quite a long time ago whenever this problem occurred to me. If not you may have an outdated version of blender.

Ok so I’m using blender 2.8 and I tried using ambient occlusion and that fixed the issue thanks to @21stPsalm for trying to help thanks.
