All my materials where i put the metallic parameter on (also small amount) getting very dark after light build. Why? And how to prevent this?

Its probably because you dont have a reflection sphere

you need some reflections to get it work.
Screen space reflections or reflection captures.

Also I suggest you to add a «skyLight» to your scene to give more color to metallic material. (don’t forget to use «reflection sphere» (or other type if needed).

Hi All,

Thanks for the answers. A skylight I had already, and reflection spheres are no option in my scene. But the solution of the Screen Space Reflection i did not know yet. Now they look better. Thanks a lot!

Just be aware that Screen Space Reflections are quite expensive.
