sometimes when i import a model, it seems to be black, even with a texture on it, no matter what, it only shows when its unlit, so it may have got to do with the lighting, but how can i fix this? i want to use lit!
#model is always black?

Make sure your normals make sense. If you select to import normals by having Unity recalculate them that is usually a good way to check if it's the normals
You can select the model and select how the normals are imported there

i dont think its got to do with the normals, it doesnt change even if i have a normal or not
although it does shine with the normals
i just cant get the base texture to show

Then perhaps you haven't UV'd your model?

?

If it's a texture issue, then have you mapped your texture to your model at all?
distant bloom
yes i did, let me get a photo to show that its probably got to do with the model
same texture, huge difference
pale ermine
Show it when it's black
distant bloom
Show it when it's black
the model (the right) is what im talking about, it is shining but thats because of the normal map
its still black without the normal
pale ermine
Can you show your material
distant bloom
its completley normal
and yes somehow it shows when i use unlit
but i want to use lit
pale ermine
Can you just put a simple UV test texture in an unlit material and put it on the model that doesn't work? I can't really tell what's going on with it, though, I can see the normal map seems to be mapping correctly somehow, it's hard to be certain

uv test texture?

google images one 😛

google images one 😛
where do i put it?
pale ermine
Use one as the texture in an unlit material and add it to the object that is black
so you can check that it's correctly UV mapped
pale ermine
So a new standard material with that UV map texture, on that object, is just black?

i cant even understand what youre saying sorry
pale ermine
Make a material, add that texture to it, add it to the object, is that object then black?
distant bloom

yes
pale ermine
Maybe you were confused when I was talking about the model normals, can you check this
distant bloom
still black
pale ermine
That's totally bizarre
If you do figure it out, please let me know, because I'd like to document the solution
Can you screenshot the model importer (a full screenshot of what I just sent)
pale ermine
Bizarre can't see anything out of place. If you can share the model, that might enable someone to help find what the deal is
