Shadows Missing - where did they go ??
here is a picture of a FBX model i am trying to import (the orange one). As you can see, it has no shadows, whereas the meshes in the background have shadows. It is a procedural OBJ file, with UV map added and then converted with FXB converter.
What is it missing?
Thanks!
What part is the actual model?? The yellow and orange thing? Sorry this picture is not making much sense.
Sorry i should have thought of that. Yes the Orange model has no shadows, it is an imported mesh. The background models are cubes, you can see the shadows on them clearly, but the FBX looks 1-dimensional, it has no shadows

The model looks as if it is lacking any normals as its totally flat. Check if it has normals and if you are unsure, use the Generate possibility in the mesh import settings
Thanks! sorry i had tried that and it just made some dark polygons so i didnt notice it, it is indeed the normals. ok :)
