    Hello everybody,

    I am using the latest Unity 5 version.

    When the meshes are static they are lit correctly.
    When I add cloth support to them they turn black with the same materials.

    The meshes are exported as double-sided ones so I first thought that the two sides would be shadowing each other but even when I disable cast and receive shadow it does not change anything.

    Any suggestions why this happens?

    It is definitely a lighting issue as when I change the material to be unlit it works fine. Also when I remove the cloth component, it also works fine with the lit material.

    Are you using HDR? I'm having a similar issue where I get vertex painted black when using cloth + a forward shader + hdr.

    So you generally are adding cloth component to static mesh? Hmmm , f*ck logic :D

    I got same issues. Finally, I figure out vertices are too close in front and back face. I think you just duplicated mesh and reverse normal, so vertices of back face has the same position with front face.

    Yes this appears to be a bug. I'm also seeing it.
