Blender model appearing very dark in godot.

Noodle_Meanie

I made a 3D model in Magica-Voxel and then imported it to blender. In Blender it seemed to look fine, but then after putting it into Godot it was extra dark. I'm new to Blender and Godot. Anyways what's going on?

Thanks.

Does the 3D scene have adequate lighting, either ambient or placed lights?

DaveTheCoder

If you're not familiar with lighting in Godot:

Add a WorldEnvironment node as the first child of the root node. In the Inspector, add a New Environment for that node, and set these Environment properties:

Ambient Light
.... Source: Color
.... Color: White (255, 255, 255, 255)

You may want to change that later, after you add more realistic lighting.

That sounds like you don't have a camera set up correctly.

DaveTheCoder That sounds like you don't have a camera set up correctly.

They meant the OP didn't include any screenshot showcasing what they mean by 'appearing very dark'.

DaveTheCoder

That suggests an idea for a game. You're given a poorly described problem to solve, and you have to figure out what the problem is. 🙂

Im having a similar problem. The way i imported it was through .glb and its super dark. Instead of a baked texture, i wouldnt just made a texture in godot but when i click new standard or shader material it creates a problem where a section of the mesh im facing just disappears until i zoom into the mesh itself. I tried turning render mode cull to disabled but then it turns dark again. I put some images to show what im looking at

this is in godot imported with nothing changed

this is in blender

this is when i add the standard material or shader

this happens when i set cull to disabled

some of you say the OP didnt give enough info so im hoping someone can see the problem with this

Rion_j i meant woudlve* btw at the start

DaveTheCoder

Rion_j a section of the mesh I'm facing just disappears until i zoom into the mesh itself.

That could happen if the normals of the mesh aren't pointing in the right direction. Do you know how to check/fix that in Blender?

Rion_j

yeah i found a video for it, the normals where all over the place

i flipped some so the blue was facing out and now it doesnt do the weird thing anymore

thanks for the help
