Daylight tag bug

Hi,

Yesterday, my LV was different than my render.

The issue seemed to be with the mixing of the daylight and the HDRI : in the LV the sun color was completely ignored, but in the render it was coloring the whole scene in purple.

I attached a simplified version of the scene, with a green sun so that you can clearly see what's wrong with the (green) render compared to what you see in the LV - no matter what your colorspace is.

With the help of my good friends from the Rocket Lasso community, we simply solved it by copying the scene into a new C4D file.
But i thought it's worth posting it here, in case you want to investigate what went wrong with this file (I'm really curious).

(but it was reproduced on different machines and configurations)

Your expected result is wrong. Sky texture/color will replace daylight's sky color. So LV result is correct. You can check it in Standalone if you wish to be sure. Btw I don't know why it's greenish in Picture Viewer but it's wrong result.

I'll check it more to see what's happening.

Hi,
the issue seems related to GSG HDR Link Plus node, if I copy paste everything from your scene into a new scene, the Texture node is missing:

And the result is greenish in both Live View and Picture Viewer:

If I reassign the correct HDR texture you have shared, Live View and Picture Viewer give the same result:
