  • For some reason, the Model Test viewer will generate very little lighting, making it difficult to view the model. However, if you go play around in Stage Check first (zoom in/out, pan around, etc.) then go into the Model Viewer, the brightness will have significantly increased. The more you do in Stage Check, the better the lighting will be. The brightness will reset every time you close the game.
