Hi I have a very complex scene with many parts emitting light via the blackbody emission texture. In my live viewer everything looks amazing and is working great.. but when I render the scene all the lights and post processing effects do not render and the image looks dull. Can anyone suggest a solution?
thanks!!

Emissions behaves different when you collect all to a single mesh. "Send all Scene Data" does this. Collects all objects to single mesh, even emissive objects. Except arealight meshes and render instances.

Solution: Use "Resend only updated objects" method

Thanks! That seems to work for a still image but I'm rendering around 450 frames. When it rendered the one frame it looked correct but when I set it to render the whole animation it turns off the blackbody emissions and post processing.

try 2.06

Ah ha! Sorry to pester you but I finally figured it out. I also need to select "Faster Updates" in the Partial Rendering Settings. This seems to have fully solved my problem. Thanks for sending me on the right path Aoktar!!

yes, this option makes all structure as in LV(interactive mode). Keep in your mind for emissions this.
I'll remove other option in future
