    Hi,

    I am usingh Enviro and at night the sand goes way too dark:

    The image above is an example of what I mean.

    The graphics are fine during the day and even though the ambient light is pretty much ok the texture just turns dark.

    Also some terrain textures actually look slightly luminescent (with no emissions applied)

    Does anyone have an idea of what could be happening.

    Many thanks.

    Do some tests on a cube. It's probably just the direction of the directional light. Always make sure there is some light, from the moon or whatever. Film and games do provide fake lighting so there is form, otherwise things look entirely flat.

    Thanks very much. I will do some tests in the morning. And revisit the lighting.
