UE5 Guitar Template comes in black

Just starting and I open the guitar template in UE5 and it comes in black.
I guess I need to update or change something to working in UE5?

Please help.
Thank you.

Ah. I believe it’s because the shaders are compiling. In the top left it says 4,000 left. After that’s done see how it looks.

@Unrealgeek24 thanks a lot . I think now all the shaders are done but still everything looks black-ish.

Maybe try adding a directional light? See how that looks. Or try use sun light in the details panel on the right under ENV Sun

@Unrealgeek24 Thank you, yes that solved it. I think the template guitar scene hasn’t been updated to work with Lumen , that’s why it looks all black.

@Madeira3d ok! Glad I can help! You can mark my 2nd post as the answer so the post will show as resolved.

It’s possible that the template guitar scene hasn’t been updated to work with Lumen, which could explain why it appears all black.

Thank you so much

I had the same problem with the default Product Configurator project. It occurs in UE versions 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4. And it’s true that it is because there are no lights in the scene. I found if you go to BP_Env object in the default level and check “Use Sun Light” the problem is solved. I can’t imagine why that is not on by default.
