Weird display for Shaded view for model. Appears to be inside out.

[number]

I'm working on a flying robot model for a friend's movie.

 

I have a model that has been rendering in Shaded mode in the model window without issue. I see the colors assigned and decals applied.

 

I was in Bones Mode and was picking points for a bone. I then exited to Modeling Mode and have lost the expected Shaded functionality. I mean, I see the object shaded, but no decals, but the render is very dark and the light for the rendered view appears to be from below.

 

 

1. Does not reproduce w/ another model that I created.

2. Appears to be localized to the actual model data! I reopend the .mdl into a new project and observed the problem.

3. Restarted AM, but to no avail.

 

 

It appears that everything is inside out for the model. Looking into the back of the model and the interior, I see everything lit and rendered as expected. I checked normals, and they are all pointing out.

 

laze_v3.mdl <-- sorry, not including materials and decals. Hope that this is not an issue. well, maybe that IS the isssue.

 

Any help appreciated.

The weird lighting is caused by the light you have added in bones mode. If you remove this light the model is displayed as normal again.

Confirmed and fixed.

 

Thanks much!

 

I can kind of see how this works. I added some more lights in the Bones Mode and then viewed in the Model Mode. It appears that the Shaded view is now using these lights. I wonder if there is an override here.

 

Anyway, thanks again.

Here is the fixed screenshot.
