Hi there - first day with Unity. I’ve created a cube, and stuck it on a plane. There’s an invisible camera in there somewhere also. However adding a light creates an object, but it doesn’t affect anything like the tutorial video (video 3) seems to demonstrate. Tried Point Lights, then Area Lights. The Scene shows the cube and plane, as does the camera view, but they remain dark grey. Set to Textured and RGB (default setup for a new scene). Can anybody offer any advice?
(Win 7 64-bit, demo version of Unity for now, AMD 5870 graphics card, latest drivers)
Cheers,
Robin.
The buttons are fine - the scale was the problem. Because the default scene was so far zoomed out, I was creating objects that were massive. I’m used to Blender’s editor, where the camera is much much smaller, but looks very similar. The standard lights have a maximum range of 10 units in Unity, so were not illuminating anything in my scene. A lack of fixed grid probably didn’t help. Thanks for your response though - nice to see these forums have helpful people on them!
