Problem with ground texture

by John Kirby · in Torque Game Engine · 03/01/2008 (8:08 am) · 4 replies

I am new to Torque and started working through the Getting Started pdf doc lastnight.

When I change the ground texture to sand or any other texture the texture looks like it has glare from a bright light washing out all of the color.

I've tried updating my video drivers and I already have the latest version of directx. Any one else seen this problem before?

Have you tried adjusting your lighting? Try making the sun a little less bright and see how it goes.

I tried changing the sun settings over the weekend, but didn't see a difference. I use a 37" flat screen TV for my monitor and tried adjusting brightness and drivers as well. I'm going to try using a regular monitor today and see if the problem is hardware related. If not I'll read more about the sun settings to see if I missed something.

Thanks for the reply Michael. I will update this post as soon as know more.

Michael, you were correct. It was the sun. I had to change the ambient to 0 0 0 1. It works fine now. Thanks again for your help!
