I am trying out materials in V8i SS3 and want to use a grey block but it's too dark. How can I make this material lighter?
I've been experimenting with light but the more I think I understand, the darker my Luxology rendering becomes.
Do you have any lights turned on ?
Shaded
In addition to the other suggestions, What is the Display Style you are using?
To the right of the preview the mode is set to shaded, change that to be Luxology and a cube would be better than rectangle for the display. You can also move the slider to the right under the preview.
