    As the title suggests I'm having an issue with editing prefabs.
    Whenever I Open the Prefab Asset the scene becomes very dark. In some way logical because there's no Directional Light in the scene but it'd be helpful if there was an independent one.
    Here's a pic:


    I hope this will be solved, thanks.

    Edit: I'm not entirely sure if this topic belongs here but thanks in advance.

    Seems like your default prefab editing scene is bugged. You can make one for yourself and assign it. Edit -> Project Settings -> Editor

    Thanks, didn't know you could change this setting. Sort of fixed it but can still see a super black shadow, hope this get fixed soon. Even a simple sphere prefab looks a bit dark.

    You should make a post about it in the prefabs forums, as the people making the prefab systems read that more often.

    I know It is really old, but I fixed it by going Window -> Rendering -> Lighting Settings -> Generate Lighting. It fixes the issue perfectly.

    Somehow if I create a new scene with just a directional light, I still don't get any lighting at all.
    The only difference is that fog is turned on in the Prefab View (even though fog is off in the Scene View "effects" dropdown)
