Hi! I’ve been having a problem for a while when using any AO viewport like arctic mode. It tends to happen on larger more complex models, but some objects will shade much darker than those next to them when I take a viewcapturetofile or print. If I use the windows screen capture tool theres no issue, and the viewport shows everything correctly for the most part, with intermittent dark shapes. Bringing up the print dialog etc shows the dark parts though.
I just tried updating to the current candidate but the problem persists.
Some blocks seem to be immune to the effect strangely but others are not. Its all pretty random, I tried flipping surface normals and pasting parts into new files etc to no luck. most of the parts in this model having issues are closed polysurfaces.
The biggest problem Im having is that Im using details on my layouts with arctic mode. They look great, but are randomly having chunks of the model go dark which makes them unusable as its pretty confusing what your looking at in some cases.
Here is a screencapturetofile:
here is a screen capture using windows snipping tool showing the difference between my monitor and what rhino is capturing:
here is my system info, Others in my office have had the same problem, and I’ve tried my files on other machines as well…
