Black Asset Previews Problem

Hi, I'm using 2019.3.0f3 with URP and all of the asset thumbnails and previews for fbx and prefabs are black. The material previews are fine. I have no idea what is causing this and it has been a while since I've been looking into this issue but it seems like nobody has it. I tried reimporting the whole project, played around with fbx import settings but nothing worked.

 

I found the issue, seems like it happens when you don't have Everything selected on the DefaultLayerMask of ForwardRenderer. I reported the bug.

 

Same problem here. Fixed selecting everything.

 

Thank you! That was it... After setting this I had to select the prefabs and reimport.

 

@velenrendlich Did you get a public issue tracker link from the QA so we can track the issue state? Thanks!

I see that it says "won't fix".

 

I was so tired of it at the time I just made a script and changed the Render Pipeline at runtime.

Code (CSharp):

1. public class SetRenderPipelineAsset : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3. public RenderPipelineAsset RenderPipelineAsset;
4.  
5. void Start()
6. {
7. QualitySettings.renderPipeline = RenderPipelineAsset;
8. }
9. }

 

Did they give you any reasoning behind the won't fix state? It's obviously a bug. I'm starting to get tired of this kind of attitude from their QA.

 

I don't know. It didn't say "won't fix" when I first saw the issue, they replied to my bug report that they were aware of it and gave me the link.

 

Yeah, that's the public part. You also have access to the fogbugz part, where they might have given you some conclusion.

 

i run into the same issue, but i can’t find the open default layer everything you guys speaking of, can anyone post a screenshot?

Thanks

 

Project Settings -> Quality -> Rendering to find your asset, in the asset inspector use the RendererList to find the forward renderer.

 

ı cant dissepear blackness in my prefabs. What can ı do for solve this problem ? When ı make animation, ı cant see animation in preview screen. İt is completely black. I am using universal render pipe line. Thanks for help.

 

Something that it worked for me:

Select all the prefabs that you see black. Disable the Mesh Renderer from the inspector to all of them, and enable it again. That will force Unitys project file manager to refresh the preview of the prefab mesh.

 

Pau, I bow to your awesomeness! This worked!

 

Disable and enable any component will fix this issue

 

Same issue with Unity2019.4.5 and URP 7.3.1. Disabling components didnt fix it

 

I had the same issue, but 7.4.1 seem to have fixed it for now.

 

This worked for me too

 

Same issue on Unity 2020.2.1f1 and URP 10.2.2. Disabling components or Reimport or changing DefaultLayerMask does not fix it

 

Guys, I've noticed disabling LOD Group fixes the problem and enabling it reproduces the issue.
