[Paraview] Too much shadow in the window

sreehahaha · June 6, 2023, 10:00

Hi Foamers,

Hope you're having a great time.

I'm using Paraview 5.9.1 and whenever I open a simulation in it, the entire simulation box is covered in some shadow. Please see the image here:

If I zoom out, eventually the shadow disappears completely. But, by then, the domain would be barely visible. Does anyone have any suggestion on how to get rid of this shadow effect? It would be very helpful.

Many thanks,
SP

NVM, solved it. In case you're here for the solution: the problem arose because the lighting was off. I turned off the light kit and everything looks fine now. Check here: https://discourse.paraview.org/t/lig...-paraview/9089
