How can I remove dark area in a render? When rendering (blender render, version 2.76) a fire animation, it leaves a dark field/area in the rendered picture. The size of the field seems to depend on the size of the domain around the animation.

Does anyone know how to remove this, as it kind of spoils the final result?



The blend.file can be downloaded via below link:

You can uncheck "Receive" in the Shadow Section for the material of the earth.

Alternatively for the fire, you could uncheck the 'Cast' checkbox.
Whatever works for your situation.
