my viewport appear very dark with vray light

[norman_bouzidi]

Hello Everybody, since last version of c4d and vray, i can't find a good solution to work in my c4d viewport like i use to do with "gouraud shadowing" It seems that some vray light are simulate and make my scene very dark to navigate

.
i try constant shadow but in not very easy too, some texture appear full black


the only solution i found, is to mask my light :

Is there an easy way to go back to this kind of shadowing in viewport without masking my light like it was before?
Thank's for your help!

Try to use the quick shading mode, it will display only C4D default light

Hi norman_bouzidi, since we added the light previews in the viewport, we also added a dedicated preference option to disable them here:


Of course, you can use the suggested approach from sirio76 - it should also work and is not specific to V-Ray.

Just wanted to add a small note here - we are not actually implementing any shading on our own. The shading in the viewport is performed by Cinema 4D, so it is generally controlled from these options in preferences:


So you may also try if increasing the number of evaluated lights helps brighten up your viewport, if you still want to use the viewport shading.
