Hey @xkoguszek! Welcome to the Forums! Are the assets glossy or glowing? In either case this is likely an issue with the materials. Would you mind sharing a screenshot of what you are seeing and your material blueprints? Any additional specifics you provide may go a long way in solving your problem! ---
