    I have applied a material to an imported mesh and it appears very dark. Is this because of the shape? The only way to get it lighter is to give it a luminance. This does not seem the best solution ;-)

    Here is the material I applied:

    and here the result:

    I've used the following material properties:

    If you want to be able to see an object you need to either light it with a fixture, or give the material a luminance, yes.

    I've been in contact with technical support about this issue and it appears to be related to applying a material to a mesh. It does not work as predictable as you suggest unfortunately.

    The workaround that was suggested by tech support was:

    The material appears correctly with lighting when "Backprojection" is enabled in materials properties.

    That works perfectly.
