graphic issue

[Anonymous]

can someone tell me what would be causing my parts to be black in my scene?

Hi,

I just tried your file and it opened just fine.

So, you may suspect your settings. Maybe your default lights are disable. Could be the display drivers in max or/and your graphic card drivers. Reapply a new material on this object and check if the problem persist.

Since your file open correctly on my computer, finding a solution would be a good guess.

Thanks for your reply @Anonymous . I think your on to something. It appears to be my defaults lights. Where are they accessed in 2019? They must have gotten turned off.

Viewport menu, type of shading, click on Per-View preferences and go to Per-View Presets.

You can click on Apply to all views at the bottom.

Here's the default settings, if you wan't to compare.
