im just wondering what i have to do ,to get my models to react to the light better.
when ive imported the model, if the face of the model is not in direct light it goes very black



here is what happens if i rotate the model

Im no artist with a shot in the dark are your normals proper on your model?

when i tilt the model to the light it will show the face




and in sketch up im getting a good front facing edges




this is the model i made in sketch up

Please dont consider this condescending but do you know what normal vectors are?

i could lie and google search it but , no is my answer.(please don't face palm )
i know what a vector is tho

this is how my models imported in cryengine 3,im well happy with it,which is why i think its not sketchup which is the problem







thanks for your reply,i just noticed your the person that helped with my other post

i just imported my models into the woodland demo level and the over reacting shadows dont happen,what the fuck,this engine makes me pull my hair out lol so its something within the editor i need to sort out any advice

Did you set up lighting (environment probes and GI)? And bake the cubemaps.
It´s probably because you only have directional lighting.
