Rendering effect that i cant remove

#1

I have this animation that I’m rendering and it has an odd effect that shows up only at the end of the render and i cant figure out what is causing it:

This is how the render looks in progress which is how I want it to look:

and this is how it looks finished. Not so much how I want it to look…

Anyone got any ideas on what the bright white light could be? I deleted all the lights to see if they were the problem but that wasn’t it.

Looks like it’s either a fog light/node or there’s a shader with a VERY strong glow effect somewhere.

#3

yep! it was a glow value that i accidentally applied to the background material. thanks!
