On the screenshot I show shadows on face with inverted normal. Something like “lit mode” from Unreal Engine… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/2X/d/da883f04ac2adc5f9093aa252e86e1ffd5200b79.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/2X/6/6324c992de18be01206b6215ebdff81915242b16.jpeg) But when I setup `material.unlit=true` mesh lose textures include `reflectionTexture` and got black color. ---

Hey! you can set material.emissiveColor to white, or material.disableLightning to true Both should work ---

`.emissiveColor = new Color3(1,1,1);` made mesh white color, but now mesh lost `reflectionTexture` ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/2X/0/0aaec1db4710f5c53b6067acfeac91454476d13b.png) `.disableLighting = true;` I dont know what it made for mesh, but shading still here. I think it because in my scene no any lights. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/2X/8/81c2d45207ef81bbe7452b1d0498d7078304c3da.png) ---

Difficult for us to do anything without a pg ^^ i don’t know which light(s) you’re using… but try this for a Hemi ( comment out line 31 to see the difference ) [https://playground.babylonjs.com/#PIW7ST](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#PIW7ST) ---

Thanks, I made playground and still doesnt realize how can fix this problem [https://playground.babylonjs.com/#PIW7ST#4](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#PIW7ST#4) PS Model look like broken, but this effect I see on the good some curved models but on them not so strong. ---

It seems to be a vertex normal issue in your mesh. All green colors mean that your normal are not correctly oriented: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/2X/3/34c74dc202b0f9c0f7d57307bd2552d88b971c16.jpeg) ---

It is flat model, from other side these faces have right orient. Anyway, on the models with more “righted” normal orientation I still see shading effect, and I need disable it. ---

> [@Deltakosh](#): > > shading is off here: Yep, i tried these options. I want just flat model, without any shading, just reflection map and nothing more =) As I know normals use for shading, so I want disable them processing in my scene. Seems like it low level render feature 🤔 ---

Reflection and shading. No, shading I did not want One more playground [https://playground.babylonjs.com/#PIW7ST#6](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#PIW7ST#6) Here more regular model with “broken” shading: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/2X/2/2da47ac66ffea330b1f10fb12a2fffdcb306f42e.png) But if apply morph to 1, then shding will fixed: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/2X/c/c658b5b6213464034cf7f9af12898c74988da816.png) but morphing doesn change normals. In Blender normals before morph ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/2X/3/3ad68fc16d77fec3a105e5f20b207a84a74ffa03.jpeg) and after ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/2X/a/a72692dad1b7a2e55286b82f7eca508e7e324f89.jpeg) And I dont realize what happen here: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/2X/5/57b715306d040547236957a60b0565bf7c95a3f6.jpeg) ---

If i understood correctly, you don’t want any **black** spots or areas… I assume (without looking deeper) that this is due to some ancient math issue (something \* 0 = black) well, i gave it a go and added some emissive, this is the best i can get it, [https://playground.babylonjs.com/#PIW7ST#8](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#PIW7ST#8) ---

And the depend from infulence working just with one morpth, but what will be when morphing target are several with non zero value? But this decision better then nothing! Currently I will use it. And I still dont understand why when I setup morph target to 1.0 shading are correctly (as I expect). ps. sorry for my english, its really hard to describe .) ---

There is no shading 🙂 you turned of the shading with disableLighting = true This is weird reflection due to weird normals
