Hello.
Does anyone know why, with certain viewers, gLTF files might have a darker diffuse texture?
I’m working on an test asset now and this is how it looks in Blender:
Using an online viewer:
And via Gestaltor:
I’m at a loss as to what is causing this. I’ve tried remaking the texture maps, re-exporting, etc. It’s a problem because this “darkness” seems to happen in some viewer software and not others.
Does anyone know what might be the cause?
The gLTF file is as follows, in case this sheds some light on it?
